Contact seller5-star sellerWraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. [5], 120-402 p. Includes illustrations. Notes. This is a product of The James Martin Center for Nonproliferaiton studies. From Wikipedia: "The Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) is a graduate school of Middlebury College, located in Monterey, California, USA. Founded…in 1955 and formally declared a Graduate School of Middlebury College in 2010, the Institute specializes in international policy, environmental policy, international business, language teaching, and translation and interpretation. The Institute comprises two graduate professional schools: the Graduate School of Translation, Interpretation, and Language Education and the Graduate School of International Policy and Management. In addition to the two graduate schools, the Institute is home to five research centers. The Institute awards Masters of Arts (M.A. ), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Masters of Public Administration (MPA), and numerous certificates across a variety of disciplines. The Institute's mission is to create an academic community committed to preparing the next generation of leaders to "Be the Solution" in cross-cultural, multilingual environments. In 2011, the Institute produced more Fulbright Fellows per capita than any other graduate school in the US." From an on-line posting: "James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), located at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, is the largest non-governmental organization in the United States devoted exclusively to research and training on nonproliferation issues. Its purpose is to contend against the spread of weapons of mass destruction. There are five research programs offered by the CNS: the Chemical and Biological Weapons Nonproliferation Program, the East Asia Nonproliferation Program, the International Organization and Nonproliferation Program, the Proliferation Research and Assessment Program, and the Newly Independent States Nonproliferation Program."

Nuclear Weapons Production and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Facilities; Appendix D Assessing the Costs of Other Nuclear Weapon States; Appendix E Steering Committee of the U.S. Nuclear Weapons Cost Study Project; Selected Bibliography, Index. Stephen I. Schwartz is a senior fellow at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. He served as editor of The Nonproliferation Review; publisher and executive director of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists; project director at the Brookings Institution; and Washington representative for the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability. He is the author of numerous articles and reports, editor and co-author of Atomic Audit. Since 1945, the United States has manufactured and deployed more than 70,000 nuclear weapons to deter and if necessary fight a nuclear war. Some observers believe the absence of a third world war confirms that these weapons were a prudent and cost-effective response to the uncertainty and fear surrounding the Soviet Union's military and political ambitions during the cold war. As early as 1950, nuclear weapons were considered relatively inexpensive providing "a bigger bang for a buck" and were thoroughly integrated into U.S. forces on that basis. Yet this assumption was never validated. Indeed, for more than fifty years scant attention has been paid to the enormous costs of this effort, more than $5 trillion thus far, and its short and long-term consequences for the nation. Based on four years of extensive research, Atomic Audit is the first book to document the comprehensive costs of U.S. nuclear weapons, assembling for the first time anywhere the actual and estimated expenditures for the program since its creation in 1940. The authors provide a unique perspective on U.S. nuclear policy and nuclear weapons, tracking their development from the Manhattan Project of World War II to the present day and assessing each aspect of the program, including research, development, testing, and production; deployment; command, control, communications, and intelligence; and defensive measures. They also examine the costs of dismantling nuclear weapons, the management and disposal of large quantities of toxic and radioactive wastes left over from their production, compensation for persons harmed by nuclear weapons activities, nuclear secrecy, and the economic implications of nuclear deterrence. Utilizing archival and newly declassified government documents and data, this richly documented book demonstrates how a variety of factors, the open-ended nature of nuclear deterrence, faulty assumptions about the cost-effectiveness of nuclear weapons, regular misrepresentation of and overreaction to the Soviet threat, the desire to maintain nuclear superiority, bureaucratic and often arbitrary decisions, pork barrel politics, and excessive secrecy, all drove the acquisition of an arsenal far larger than what many contemporary civilian and military leaders deemed necessary. Atomic Audit concludes with recommendations for strengthening atomic accountability and fostering greater public understanding of nuclear weapons.

"Poetry is an unacknowledged war industry. It is a known but unmitigated error of many intelligent people to look down on poetry as if it were a feather in the hat on a stormy day, curlicues on the fringe of nothing, play for an idle moment between major issues. Hence the infinite indifference to poetry in a society badly in need of it, but offering to it, as to Christianity, a meaningless lip service. Poetry is a necessity wearing the trapping of a luxury. It is a way to live, and a way to evaluate that way. It is a way of seeing, and therefore of believing" (Oscar Williams, Introduction).
