{"product_id":"the-phantom-fallout-induced-cancer-epidemic-daniel-miles-9781439206478","title":"The Phantom Fallout-Induced Cancer Epidemic in Southwestern Utah: Downwinders Deluded and Waiting to Die","description":"In the 1950s, the government detonated many above-ground tests of nuclear weapons at the Nevada Test Site exposing the people living downwind, who became known as downwinders, to radioactive fallout. Almost three decades later, the downwinders were told that their cancer rates were more than double nationwide rates. Tort lawyers with the aid of activist, politicians, and the print and electronic media succeeded in creating an atmosphere of fear, panic, emotional hysteria, and political expediency that still lives in southwestern Utah over the dimly understood dangers of ionizing radiation. However, based on science and medical statistics and not on anecdotes, this book provides evidence that fallout did not provide a high enough radiation dose to produce a detectable increase in the overall cancer rates in southwestern Utah downwinders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Miles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439206473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439206478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Daniel Miles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986185126143,"sku":"9781439206478","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9487e8d-3e3a-4513-90ce-310e6a74eecd.jpg?v=1683281864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-phantom-fallout-induced-cancer-epidemic-daniel-miles-9781439206478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
