Atomic Sublime: The Atom, the Sublime, and the American Southwest
Atomic Sublime: The Atom, the Sublime, and the American Southwest
By Lovely Umayam & Tammy Nguyen
The Atomic Sublime is a book about the landscapes that captivate and haunt us, not only because of their ineffable beauty and scale, but because of the dark nuclear histories they hold. The book centers around two places in the American Southwest– the Grand Canyon and the Nevada Test Site -- and the role they played in developing U.S. nuclear weapons. The book is part of the Illuminating Radioactivity project, which blends policy, technical, and creative expertise to produce compelling resources about nuclear science, policy, and history.
