| My father has worked in nuclear power plants for over 30 years, so nuclear energy was very common topic of conversation in my home growing up. For decades, the use of nuclear power has been highly debated and has caused a great deal of controversy. The month of March marks both the anniversaries of the Three Mile Island accident and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster so the debate has recently been making headlines and stirring emotions.
Whatever your personal opinion may be, I think we can all agree that this is an important and fascinating subject to study. We have created a list of popular titles dealing with nuclear power and energy that are available for purchase in Marketplace. These titles would make a great addition to a science class curriculum, a current events library display, and I think the title Full Body Burden by Kristen Iversen would make for a very interesting Book Club discussion.
If you would like more suggestions, your Collection Development Specialist is available to help create recommended lists. Email collectionteam@overdrive.com for more information today. *Some titles may have limited regional or platform availability.
