I have revised the resources tab on top at my blog and have created a new list titled "Books about Nukes" The link will open a new window. The list will be updated over time. The date of this edition of the list is: January 15, 2012.

| Nuclear energy is the stuff stars are made of |
This list is intended to reach the NON-TECHNICAL reader. This means the book must explain nuclear energy for commercial use, and closely related issues, e.g., uranium mining, spent fuel management, etc., in a clear and intelligent manner that is accessible to someone who has no technical background in the industry.
I would especially like to hear about books that would be readable by a high school senior or freshman / sophomore college student interested in a career in the nuclear industry.
Comments and suggestions for additional listings are welcome.
Before you comment, please check the current list. I only need a few volumes in each category.
Please be complete with title, author, ISBN number, date of publication, and a link to an online bookseller of your choice or the publisher/author website.
Want to know more? Read a book on nuclear energy and share it with your friends. While it won’t compete with cocktail chatter about ‘Dancing with the Stars’, in fact, nuclear energy is the stuff stars are made of.

Note: I do not make any money with referrals to Amazon from this list. The list is not linked to the tower ads from Amazon on the main blog page. The Amazon listing is used so that a reader can extract the ISBN number if they want to get it from their preferred bookseller or borrow it for free from their local library.

I'm wondering if it may be worth trying to compose a similar list of other highly recommended books that may not fit in this category. Those that may be somewhat more technical and therefore addressed to people already learned in nuclear subjects.
The American Nuclear Society has a good list of technical volumes in its bookstore. You can find it at http://www.ans.org
The list on this blog is focused on the general reader.
