Provides timely and up-to-date facts, context, perspectives, and tools to make informed decisions about nuclear energy. In the 21st century, nuclear power has been identified as a viable alternative to traditional energy sources to stem global climate change, and condemned as risky to human health and environmentally irresponsible. Do the advantages of nuclear energy outweigh the risks, especially in light of the meltdown at the Fukushima plant in 2011? This guide provides both a comprehensive overview of this critical and controversial technology, presenting reference tools that include important facts and statistics, biographical profiles, a chronology, and a glossary. It covers major controversies and proposed solutions in detail and contains contributions by experts and important stakeholders that provide invaluable perspective on the topic.

Trailblazers in Science and Technology is a 10-volume set that profiles the lives and achievements of scientists whose work has had a major impact on a particular field. The scientist's accomplishments are discussed, including the "trailblazing" principles and personal struggles that complemented his or her work. Employing an array of primary sources-diaries, memoris, letters, and contemporary news accounts-as well as secondary sources, the set depicts the human drama of scientific work, the challenge of research, and the exhilaration and rewards of discovery. Both in late-19th-century Russian-occupied Poland, where opportunities for higher education for women were virtually nonexistent, Marie Sktodowska (later Marie Curie) had little chance of being remembered in the pages of history. Years later, after she and members of her family were awarded three separate Noble Prizes for myriad breakthroughs in the field of radioactivity (the emission of radiation from unstable nuclei), the name Curie is likely never to be forgotten. The Curie Family tells the story of Marie, husband Pierre, daughter Irène, and Irène's husband, Frédéric Joliot, whose achievements include, in Marie and Pierre's case, the discovery of polonium and radium and, in Irène and Frédéric's, the discovery of artificial radioactivity. This book also focuses on Marie's early life in Poland, examining closely the effort she expended and sacrifices she made to become a true trailblazer of science. The Curie Family includes more than 30 color photographs and four-color line illustrations, the Periodic Table of the Elements, a chronology, a glossary, a list of print and Internet resources, and an index. Trailblazers in Science and Technology is an essential set for students, teachers, and general readers that provides a actual look at the lives and accomplishments of prominent scientists.

The news media is a 24-hour presence, endlessly pumping images and information through the air, beaming it down from space, transmitting it through cables and phone lines across the Internet.

From newspapers and magazines to radios, televisions, and the Internet, today's consumers often rely on the news media for unbiased, reliable information on current events.
