Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. ix, [1], . 193, [1] p. References. Diagrams. Maps. Illustrations. Index. Most of the earth's population would survive the immediate horrors of a nuclear holocaust, but what long-term climatological changes would affect their ability to secure food and shelter? This sobering book considers the effects of fine dust from ground-level detonations, of smoke from widespread fires, and of chemicals released into the atmosphere. The authors use mathematical models of atmospheric processes and data from natural situations-e.g., volcanic eruptions and arctic haze-to draw their conclusions. This is the most detailed and comprehensive probe of the scientific evidence published to date. Good. No dust jacket as issued. Ex-library. Usual library markings. COver has some wear and soiling.
