Physics for future presidents - Richard A. Muller

We live in complicated, dangerous times. They are also hyper-technical times. As citizens who will
elect future presidents of the most powerful and influential country in the world, we need to
know-truly understand, not just rely on
television's talking heads-if Iran's nascent
nuclear capability is a genuine threat to the
West, if biochemical weapons are likely to be
developed by terrorists, if there are viable
alternatives to fossil fuels that should be
nurtured and supported by the government, if
nuclear power should be encouraged, and if
global warming is actually happening. This book
is written in everyday, nontechnical language on the science behind the concerns that our nation
faces in the immediate future. Even active
readers of serious journalism will be surprised
by the lessons that the book contains. It is
"must-have" information for all presidents-and
citizens-of the twenty-first century.
