Light Reading

In conclusion: persons under nuclear attack should make considerable effort to protect themselves from beta radiation.

If you enjoy reading such sentences, then i highly recommend Nuclear War Survival Skills. Among other topics covered:

• how to build your own radiation detector
• how to build various fallout/blast shelters
• why nuclear winter is survivable

It's quite an informative book and is set in a decidedly hopeful tone, that, given the melancholy material, makes for a wonderfully seesawing read.
