Michon Mackedon is scheduled to speak on August 14, 2012 at Rotary Club of Minden, Nevada meeting. Michon is the Author of Bombast: Spinning Atoms in the Desert (2010).The Minden Rotary Club meets Tuesdays at 12:00 PM, at the Carson Valley Inn – 1627 Hwy 395 N. – Minden, Nevada.Bombast: Spinning Atoms in the Desert is a crucial linchpin in Atomic Revival studies. Michon Mackedon recounts Nevada’s relationship with the nuclear industry and a host of players including the Atomic Energy Commission, the Department of Energy, scientists, military men, and journalists. With “an awareness born of deceit” shared by other Nevadans, Mackedon considers the manipulated language and imagery doled out by the atomic industry to make the unsafe appear safe and the unthinkable, thinkable. This second book published by Black Rock Institute Press is an environmentally charged survey of nuclear culture in the “Silver State.” Augmented with “Atomic Pop” images of the nuclear era, this book is an ironic, dead-serious, no-holds barred post-mortem that lights up Nevada’s nuclear industry.
