The first volume in this series, Total Fallout--General Reader Edition, includes several tables that lists fallout deposition values on a county-by-county basis. Unfortunately, due to page limitations, it was not possible to include the lowest values--i.e. those in the single-digit micro-Curie range. This edition of the series addresses this limitation by segregating the fallout values into two groups--counties in the Eastern half of the United States and counties in the Western half of the United States. The states included in Volume III (Eastern U.S.) include: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticutt, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
The states included in Volume IV (Western U.S.) include Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.

U. S. Atlas of Nuclear Fallout, 1951-1970 Vol III Eastern U. S.: Nuclear Fallout in the Eastern Us from the Nevada Nuclear Tests
This is basically the biography of Uranium. The history of how it was discovered and evolved to what it is today was a great read, especially considering the time we're in with everyone trying to get the bomb.
This powerful quote from the book's introduction sums it all up, " From dust to dust, the Earth came seeded with the means of it's own destruction--a geological original sin. "
The news is always talking about if terrorists ever got nuclear weapons how easy it would be to use them. After reading this book, I have become more fearful at the ease in which this could happen. If someone is determined to get uranium, I don't doubt that they will. There is little accounting of stuff by world governments and even some the inventory they know they are supposed to have goes missing.
It was scary to read about some boys finding some in a field (nobody knows how the ore they found got there) and hitting it with a hammer because it made nice sparks. Yikes! I never knew how precariously we are balanced on the nuclear precipice and now, unfortunately, have to believe it is only a matter of time until some nuclear terrorism occurs.
Oh yeah, I noticed an error in the book in which they talk about the Popeye cartoon and his nemesis "Brutus" according to the book. It's actually Bluto.
