Summary of Kate Brown's Manual for Survival
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The director of the Clinic for Radiation Medicine in Moscow, Angelina Gus’kova, was the first person to hear about the Chernobyl accident. She treated patients who were nauseous and weak, with reddened skin, and one who was already vomiting. The diagnosis was typical signs of acute radiation sickness. #2 In the 1950s, the first civilian nuclear power plants started up in the USSR. The director of the radiation medicine clinic at Hospital No. 6, Lyudmila Gus’kova, took over when the deputy minister of health became enraged at the idea of a pamphlet on treating radiation victims. #3 On April 26, 1986...
The Rhetorical Rise and Demise of “Democracy” in Russian Political Discourse, Vol I
The essays in this book examine the arguments and rhetoric used by the United States and the USSR following two catastrophes that impacted both countries, as blame is cast and consequences are debated. In this environment, it was perhaps inevitable that conspiracy theories would arise, especially about the downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 over the Sea of Japan. Those theories are examined, resulting in at least one method for addressing conspiracy arguments. In the case of Chernobyl, the disaster ruptured the “social compact” between the Soviet government and the people; efforts to overcome the resulting disillusionment quickly became the focus of state efforts.

The major emphasis in this volume is on cancer imaging; however, differentiation between benign tumors and malignant tumors is also discussed. This volume is sold individually, and Cancer Imaging, ...
Manual for Survival
The official death toll of the 1986 Chernobyl accident, 'the worst nuclear disaster in history', is only 54, and stories today commonly suggest that nature is thriving there. Yet award-winning historian Kate Brown uncovers a much more disturbing story, one in which radioactive isotopes caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the magnitude of the disaster has been actively suppressed. For years after, Soviet scientists, bureaucrats and civilians were documenting staggering increases in birth defects, child mortality, cancers and other life-altering diseases. Worried that this evidence would blow the lid on the effects of radiation release from Cold War weapons-testing, scientists and ...
