Tops (1)! "The Antinuclear Game" by Gordon Sims, softbd., 285pp., C$19.95, U. of Ottawa Press (603 Cumberland, Ottawa, Ont., Canada K1N 6N5). Written by a scientist who thought he was at last free to speak when he retired from the Canadian Federal DoE; but the antinukes objected, and the U. of Ottawa wimps "toned it down" (Globe & Mail, 6/8/90). Even so, it is an excellent collection of the facts vs. the game played around them with mis-leading and false ("inaccurate") statements by the antinukes in radiation, risks, wastes, alternative sources, and the rest. Most highly recommended!
Tops (2)! J.L Simon, Population Matters
¾People, Resources, Environment, and Immigration, hdbd., 577 pp., $34.95, Transaction Publishers, contains some 60 wonderful essays, written over the last decade by America's leading debunker of population ex-plosion and resource depletion. For example, Simon said that the price of any raw material, adjusted for inflation, would indefinitely decline, and was willing to bet the price difference of that com-modity over 10 years. Paul Lysenko Ehrlich and two of his proteges took him up on it in 1980, chose copper, chrome, nickel, tin, and tungsten, have continually been losing on all of them, but do not shut up. At press time Simon was $540 (54%) ahead.F. Seitz, "Must we have nuclear power?" Reader's Digest, 10 for $5, Reprint Editor, Box 406, Pleasantville, NY 10570.
