In this classic study, winner of the 1969 National Book Award in Science, Lifton studies the psychological effects of the bomb on 90,000 survivors. He sees this analysis as providing a last chance to understand--and be motivated to avoid--nuclear war. This compassionate treatment is a significant contribution to the atomic age.Nuclear warfarePsychological aspectsHiroshima-shi (Japan)HistoryBombardment, 1945Nuclear warfarePsychological aspects.940.54/26Lifton Robert Jay1926-1917578MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911088127403321Death in life4713811UNINA05058nam 2200805 a 450 991110201190332120250715204821.0019157271397801915727150-19-170658-20-19-964658-91-282-50191-797866125019130-19-157271-3(MiAaPQ)EBC7033957(CKB)24235097100041(MiAaPQ)EBC485727(Au-PeEL)EBL485727(CaPaEBR)ebr10365174(CaONFJC)MIL250191(OCoLC)550604710(Au-PeEL)EBL7033957(OCoLC)1044749973(EXLCZ)992423509710004120100331d2010 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierChoosing tomorrow's children the ethics of selective reproduction /Stephen Wilkinson1st ed.Oxford Clarendon Press20101 online resource (viii, 265 pages)Issues in biomedical ethics9780199273966 Includes bibliographical references (p.
