James Crnkovich's Atomic America Deluxe Edition

This is a deluxe edition of the work of the same name by James Crnkovich. A higher quality photo reproduction is used in this edition for more sharp and colorful images. As with its more modestly priced version, photographer James Crnkovich and his collaborator Robert Del Tredici present a series of stunning images documenting America's (and indeed the rest of the world's) dangerous and senseless love affair with the atomic bomb. Their images and comments seek to awaken us from our apathetic slumbers and to remind us of the danger that surrounds us and that threatens to bring human life, and perhaps all life, to a premature end on this planet. This is a must read for anyone who has become complacent about humankind's troubled history with this hideous power. The introduction is by Bob Mielke.
