In this well documented global wake-up call, nuclear physicist Jeff Eerkens explores remedies for the impending energy crisis, when oil and natural gas are depleted. Because burning coal worsens the problem ofglobal warming, alternate energy sources must be instituted. The Nuclear Imperative demonstrates with scientific documentation that solar, wind, and biomass power, while helpful, are incapable of supplying and sustaining the enormous quantities of electricity and heat needed for manufacturing portable synthetic fuels (synfuels) to replace our current use of fossil fuels. Instead, it offers a fresh look at uranium-produced energy as the optimal affordable solution.
Long misunderstood and irrationally feared because of antiquated beliefs by the general public, modern nuclear power generation is safer, cleaner, and essential for solving the future energy shortfall. Using a detailed, scientific approach to dispel common myths, The Nuclear Imperative shows that uranium fission power is available for 1,500 years as a prime energy source to provide all the world’s energy needs. Because it takes ten to twenty years to design, test, and build new synfuel-producing reactors and new engines powered by new synfuels, action must be taken soon to prevent a catastrophy thirty years from now when oil runs out.

The Nuclear Imperative: A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis in the Age of Terrorism
In my opinion this book stands on a very different ground than the other ones. First of all it's shorter and does not comprise a full length course on the subject, it's merely an introduction. But besides that structural difference my opinion about it differs quite substantially from the other two.
For the other books in the series my TL;DR opinion was very interesting for who already knows physics, possibly confusing for a beginner. On the other hand I think the first chapters of this book offer the best introduction to quantum mechanics I have ever read. I think the usual way to teach the subject is many orders of magnitude worse than this. He focuses on the essential measurable quantities of quantum mechanics, amplitudes, and gives them a clear and coherent interpretation and rules of calculation. After his introduction I think the mathematics of Hilbert spaces would be really intuitive and natural, way more than if you started with wavefunctions as is usual.
The only drawback is really the context of these lectures. This isn't a full course so he couldn't show all the structure and went straight into applications as soon as he could. Going back to the "interesting for who already knows about this, overly complicated for someone who doesn't know anything".
I think lectures of quantum mechanics should really come to this book for the first few lectures. The very first chapter explaining the double-slit experiment (of which there is a recording online) and the chapter about spin one with the Ster-Gerlach experiment are absolute genius.
