Recenzje

"As the editors note in the book's introductory part 1, knowledge about the oceans and about various nuclear-related activities has not
previously been consolidated in one place. This knowledge has been fragrnenred among pockets of specialized experts. This book brings together
valuable historical, environmental, scientific, political, and legal studies about a variety of nuclear activities. The Oceans in the Nuclear Age admirably achieves its goal: it "frame[s] the complex multidimensional set of relationships between the oceans and the nuclear age, uncovers
patterns of impact and response in the legal regime, and raises further questions for research" (p.3).
