When I picked up this book, I assumed it was about bacteria. Not so. It's actually
a scary book about plutonium! Just listen to the chilly titles of some of the
papers included: "Determination of Americium and Plutonium in Autopsy
Tissue: Methods and Problems", "Deposition of plutonium in the lungs
of a worker following an accidental inhalation exposure", "Deposition
and retention of plutonium in the United States general population",
"The influence of environmental factors on the gastrointestinal absorption
of plutonium and americium". The book is published in Utah, arguably the most
spooky U.S. state, and the publishers actually call themselves Snowbird. Sounds
like some kind of super-classified Cold War experiment. "Let's depose
plutonium in the lungs of lilac blackbirds and see what happens". That
kind of stuff, still classified until the year 2567 by executive orders of the
National Security Agency a.k.a. Eisenhower.
The guy who invented plutonium. Mr Snowbird himself, I presume?
