New Mexico students grow up in a nuclear environment, with the laboratory that created the nuclear bomb a central figure in our state. Many students, however, go through school not knowing the larger stories of the impact that this technology had on the peoples who were on the receiving end of the weapons created. The National Museum of Nuclear Science, which is in our city, lauds all of the innovations afforded by nuclear science, celebrating its pioneers and highlighting the "benefits" of uranium mining and nuclear energy. But even this museum downplays the effects of the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, committing a minuscule exhiibit to before-and-after photos of the cities and nothing more. These books would opens their eyes to what humanity is capable of, no matter what our patriotic or political allegiances.
