If you fancy getting your hands on a copy you can pre-order via all the normal places or ask your local library to get one in. If you buy a copy and want me to sign it/write a personalised message then let me know and will post you a signed bookplate sticker. #UraniumBook
Can’t decide whether to finish the last chapter of edits today so I go into the NY with it done or tomorrow so can start 2024 with an easy win on the first day. #ChainReactions #UraniumBook
I mean this might change during editing but currently #UraniumBook talks about cosmetics more than double the times I mention Oppenheimer - so I know which one I’m more excited about.
Day 3 of celebrating handing in the first draft of #UraniumBook to my publishers and we have some Atomik, an apple spirit made from fruits from Chernobyl region. All perfectly safe and % of the profits go to supporting local communities and wildlife there. Cheers!
Celebrating the handing in of the first draft of #UraniumBook by sorting through some of the many many books that have consulted over the last two and a bit years.
On one hand am writing a book on an important topic and on the other there is this #wip #UraniumBook
Stumbled upon a little bit of uranium glass have been coveting for a while. It gets a mention in #UraniumBook
Half day dreaming and half scoping out locations for #uraniumbook launch party and this place at Battersea Power Station seems ideal.
Went for a little road trip this afternoon and a tour round Sizewell. Absolutely fascinating #uraniumbook
Chapter by chapter playlist for my #wip #uraniumbook
The last few days has been the long promised DIY writers retreat. 25,000 *good* words of #wip done #uraniumbook
At the Grand Hotel Wien where the @iaeaorg had its headquarters until 1979. As am writing a chapter on this period for my #wip seemed like a no brainier to visit. #UraniumBook @iconbooks
Am in shock but so grateful to the @Soc_of_Authors
for their support for my second radioactive history #UraniumBook #SoAGrants
Hope everyone is ready for the weird science.
Another brand new talk - this one is based on research for my forthcoming #UraniumBook
April 19
The Atomic City: Las Vegas, Nuclear Energy, and the Uranium Era
In 2024 @iconbooks will publish #UraniumBook which tells the history of the ways uranium has been used from the ancient world to the present day. What can a proper understanding of uranium’s past tell us about its current uses and its future?
Spent far too long trying to track down info on the low fat cheese apparently created by Leo Szilard tonight. Pretty certain it would be tasty but can I wedge it in to the #UraniumBook ??
