When No One's Coming. The Ultimate Scientific Guide to Staying Alive in a Nuclear War

This is the ultimate scientific guide to surviving a nuclear war. Written by a research scientist, who is also a serving firefighter, with First Responder qualifications in Emergency medical Care, and emergency response driving. The narrative cuts through pseudoscience and myth, with practical, sensible advice. Only by understanding the science behind it, can you fully appreciate the dangers, and take actions necessary to maximise your chances of survival. The book opens by outlining the reasons behind the current nuclear threats we face in the world today, from both military and peaceful applications of nuclear power. An explanation of the science behind atomic energy follows, together with the dangers it creates - in simple layperson's terms. The book outlines a simple emergency plan, that can be implemented by anyone in the event of a nuclear war. It also goes into greater depth for those who wish to be more thorough in their preparation and describes the actions you will need to take under various scenarios that might play out. This wealth of scientific and practical emergency training has been condensed into this manual for survival, which outlines the steps you need to take to prepare for, and to survive Armageddon. Better to be forewarned and prepared, than to find yourself unarmed, in the middle of a war. If you are faced with a nuclear emergency, in which you and a million others need help, you can be sure that no one's coming to your rescue. You will need to rely on your own skills and knowledge.
