  Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too real—an event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl. 
   
    
   
  The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River. 
   
   
   
  Whistleblowers are now speaking out, hoping their pleas can help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, Atomic Days provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technology—from weapons to electricity—and shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers, and the global environment.

  Do you keep an eye on world events through mainstream media? If so, chances are you have missed out on many essential news stories from countries around the world. 
  While many news outlets will cover European, U.K., and U.S. news in great detail, they often leave out essential news from other continents, especially Africa. 
  And yet, that doesn’t mean that newsworthy events occur there every day, just like in the UK. 
  In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years. 
  If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place. 
  Introducing, But, Whose Fault? Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition. 
  Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen.

  It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told. 
  Inside, But, Whose Fault? Part One, discover: 
  ●	essential background information about the local people and community 
  ●	the political context behind the events that unfolded 
  ●	the initial factors that influenced the confrontation 
  ●	the company behind the Nguvu mining project

  How to heal the psychological wounds of an abused child? How can we restore security to a neglected child? How can we help a child and his parents create an emotional bond? How can an adopted child reconcile his or her successive lives? Confronted with parents who are unaffectionate, depressive, absent or excluded, a child can become withdrawn, panic-stricken by fear of abandonment, violent or unable to express him/herself in words or actions.
  In France, over 300,000 children are under protective care. Dr. Daniel Rousseau, who has worked in a nursery run by the French child welfare agency (Aide sociale à l’enfance), uses case studies to explain how these abused children invent solutions to survive and grow up, sometimes even without their parents.
