The classic

This book was The classic written in an age where humanity seemed ready for the cheapest, most environmentally-safe, practical and useful proven energy source we have discovered to date: nuclear power. Now that we are beginning to realize that we should have been building as many reactors as possible for the last few decades and are alarmingly behind, this should be the the bible to build that foundation-written in a style all can profit from from layperson to advanced scientist. The fact that this book is the best description of advanced concepts in physics to a layperson ever written doesn't hurt. Few can read this book and still hold on to their hysterical phobia about moving on to the next stage in human advancement.
