"Creating the New World"

["Ted Rockwell" <tedrock@cpcug.org>]

Friends:



Here's the text of the first flyer:





"presents in vivid, human terms many of the young scientists and engineers

who first harnessed this primal force, and the extraordinary times and

environment in which they worked and lived...an enlightening and fascinating

account."		DR. GLENN T. SEABORG, Nobel Laureate,  Co-discoverer of plutonium





"a unique contribution...I don't know of any other  book that covers the

same ground--which was ground zero for the  evolution of this important and

controversial technology... It doesn't hurt that you're an engaging

storyteller and that you were present at the creation."

RICHARD RHODES, popular historian, Pulitzer-winning author





"[Rockwell’s] prose disproves the prevalent belief that no engineer can

write.  The sentences flow gracefully, with a feel for the rhythm of English

that many who make a profession of writing would envy."

CONNIE BUCHANAN, free-lance editor, Editor of Tom Clancy's "Hunt for Red

October"





 “A gifted scientist, engineer, visionary, and author, Ted has been a

front-line player throughout this Age – eminently qualified to tell us the

true story and set the images straight.”

Admiral JAMES WATKINS, USN (ret), Secretary of Energy, 1989-93; Chief of

Naval Operations, 1982-86





"Ted Rockwell's engaging style and compelling first-hand account give

readers of "Creating the New World" an invaluable perspective on the

Manhattan Project and its aftermath."

CYNTHIA C. KELLY, President, Atomic Heritage Foundation, Washington, DC





“He relates his story with a freshness that makes it seem as though it all

happened yesterday.

 DR. FREDERICK SEITZ, President, National Academy of Sciences/National

Research Council, 1962-69





“Ted Rockwell has summed up more than a half-century of personal experiences

as a pioneer in the nuclear age. His book is an important gift to this and

coming generations.

DR. JOHN H. GIBBONS, Assistant to the President for Science & Technology

(1993-98)





Ted Rockwell is a knowledgeable, articulate communicator with the courage

born of a lifetime of successful nuclear achievement, practical as well as

theoretical.  His book may well be a critical element in further

enlightening our fellow citizens.

DR. KENNETH C. ROGERS, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissioner (1987-1997)





"A very important, well-written, and easily read book.

Dr. FRANK DUNCAN, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission historian



Author Theodore Rockwell has published a first-hand narration of the

extraordinary people, bizarre ideas, and novel social structure that

characterized frontier life in the secret wartime science-city of Oak Ridge,

Tennessee, where the atomic age was being hatched.

Rockwell also takes you through the post-war years, when young scientists

and engineers fought to convert the operation from a classified Army

ordnance project to a world-wide, commercial enterprise encompassing

medicine, industry, electricity generation, and a whole new technology and

politics that have transformed nearly every segment of our lives.



Get to know these young people as they work to change the world and in turn

are changed by the awesome realities they have become familiar with and

harnessed.



Theodore Rockwell, an acclaimed nuclear engineer, has spent nearly 60 years

in nuclear technologies, and was Technical Director under Admiral Rickover,

developing the nuclear Navy and the world’s first commercial atomic power

station.  He is a founding partner of the respected engineering firm, MPR

Associates, and of Radiation, Science & Health, Inc., an international

public interest organization dedicated to bringing radiation protection

policy into line with the scientific data.
