Show Notes
Nuclear Family by Ty Bannerman is a memoir that intertwines personal history with the dawn of the nuclear age in the American Southwest. Bannermans family was part of the U.S. nuclear weapons program at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and his book delves into the science, history, and self-reflection of growing up in this era. The memoir explores the duality of Los Alamos, from its natural beauty to its role as the birthplace of the atomic bomb. Bannermans research uncovers family stories and connects them to the broader context of nuclear science. The book also touches on pop culture coping mechanisms during the Cold War and grapples with the ongoing legacy of nuclear weapons. Nuclear Family is available from the University of New Mexico Press and offers a unique perspective on history and our responsibility to the future.
