{"product_id":"the-social-impact-of-bomb-fred-charles-ikle-9780806148090","title":"The Social Impact of Bomb Destruction","description":"Since we live in the shadow of nuclear warfare, we must face its probable consequences and be prepared to cope with potentially gruesome and large-scale destruction, says author Fred Charles Iklé. Much has been written about the physical and biological effects of nuclear warfare, but the effect of bombing on the functioning of society--on the lives and activities of city dwellers, on the operation of industries, and even on the organization of a nation--has been largely neglected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the first book to deal with the sociological and demographic impact of widespread bomb destruction. The physical effects of nuclear destruction are related to their social consequences, which are ultimately decisive for political and military strategy, as well as civil defense. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Iklé's findings are based on an extensive analysis of World War II data from Germany, Japan, Poland, and other countries. He also examined many other types of disasters in order to predict the results of nuclear bombing--from medieval plagues to the evacuation in Holland during the floods of 1953. Statistical comparisons show how different degrees of destruction affect cities or nations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Social Impact of Bomb Destruction\u003c\/i\u003e is required reading for all civil defense workers and military personnel, as well as government leaders and civilians who would be informed on the social consequences of bombing--and ways to deal with those consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fred Charles Iklé\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806148098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806148090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d","brand":"Fred Charles Iklé","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44321222557951,"sku":"9780806148090","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c66dafab-6200-4d02-a56b-a16e2ec96a15.jpg?v=1696329761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-social-impact-of-bomb-fred-charles-ikle-9780806148090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
