<DIV>In <i>Atomic Culture</i>, eight scholars examine the range of cultural expressions of atomic energy from the 1940s to the early twenty-first century, including comic books, nuclear landscapes, mushroom-cloud postcards, the Los Alamos suburbs, uranium-themed board games, future atomic waste facilities, and atomic-themed films such as <i>Dr. Strangelove</i> and <i>The Atomic Kid</i>.<p><P>Despite the growing interest in atomic culture and history, the body of relevant scholarship is relatively sparse. <i>Atomic Culture</i> opens new doors into the field by providing a substantive, engaging, and historically based consideration of the topic that will appeal to students and scholars of the Atomic Age as well as general readers.</p><P>Contributors include Michael A. Amundson, Mick Broderick, Peter Goin, John Hunner, Ferenc M. Szasz, A. Costandina Titus, Peter C. van Wyck, and Scott C. Zeman.</DIV>
