Abstract

226 Book Reviews for Mumbai but any other city or country in the world engaged in nuclear sciences and the development of nuclear technology/energy in the name of peace. The focus on popular culture and use of print media, films, superhero comics, as well as ancient texts enriches this work tremendously as compared to other works which remain within the realms of political boundaries and parliamentary walls. Visual materials used and endnotes were indispensable to the argument and fur- ther explanations of the text. However, though probably a preference by the author or a prerequisite by the publisher, the use of footnotes instead of endnotes would have made reading more enjoyable and easier to consult. Furthermore, though useful, some quotations are rather long. Despite the obvious recommendations of readership on the book’s jacket, the book will be of interest to (former) nuclear scientists, anti-nuclear activists and politicians in Mumbai, India and the rest of the world.
