The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge.

The second volume of William T. Vollmann's epic book about the factors and human actions that have led to global warming begins in the coal fields of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, where "America's best friend" is not merely a fuel, but a "heritage"....

The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge. Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours.

In this transformative work, Ronald Legarski, Yash Patel, and Zoltan Csernus present the Adaptive Modular Reactor (AMR) as the defining breakthrough in nuclear energy. Grounded in hard-earned historical lessons and empowered by next-generation technologies, AMR is introduced as a meltdown-proof, intelligent, and regenerative system engineered for global deployment. This book dives deep into AI-enhanced safety, environmental restoration through bioremediation, regulatory harmonization, and an education-based safety culture. From engineers to educators, policymakers to emergency responders, ...
