This is “must-have” information for all presidents—and citizens—of the twenty-first century: Is Iran’s nascent nuclear capability a genuine threat to the West? Are biochemical weapons likely to be developed by terrorists? Are there viable alternatives to fossil fuels that should be nurtured and supported by the government? Should nuclear power be encouraged? Can global warming be stopped?

Quotes

  • Elenahas quoted3 years ago
    TNT then detonates as a chemical chain reaction. In a millionth of a second, the energy of the springs is transformed into energy of motion. The molecules have high velocity, and that means they are hot.
  • Elenahas quoted3 years ago
    It can do this because (unlike gasoline or chocolate chip cookies) it doesn’t have to be combined with air.
  • Elenahas quoted3 years ago
    TNT is used not because of its high energy content, but because it can release its energy very rapidly.
