Thanks to Ruth Weiner for her interesting and valuable insider's view of



the development of the anti-nuclear movement and one woman's relation

to it.  (Looks to me like there could be a book there.)  I would also

ask

Ruth, if she would, to share with us the titles of her favorite books

about the

development of the anti-nuclear movement and the broader environmental

movement.

================



Well, I'm not Ruth, but development of environmental organizations is precisely

the topic of an excellent book, Risk and Culture, by sociology's odd couple,

Mary Douglas and Aaron Wildavsky.



Amazon has a brief NYT review snippet:



Editorial Reviews

New York Times 



Offering what they call a cultural theory of risk perception, the authors

suggest that peoples

complaints about hazards should never be taken at face value. One must look

further to discover

what forms of social organization are being defended or attacked. 



Best regards.
