{"product_id":"9780141988542","title":"Manual for Survival: A Chernobyl Guide to the Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe official death toll of the 1986 Chernobyl accident, 'the worst nuclear disaster in history', is only 54, and stories today commonly suggest that nature is thriving there. Yet award-winning historian Kate Brown uncovers a much more disturbing story, one in which radioactive isotopes caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the magnitude of this human and ecological catastrophe has been actively suppressed. Based on a decade of archival and on-the-ground research, 'Manual for Survival' is a gripping exposé of the consequences of nuclear radiation in the wake of Chernobyl - and the plot to cover up the truth. As Brown discovers, Soviet scientists, bureaucrats, and civilians documented staggering increases in cases of birth defects, child mortality, cancers and a multitude of life-altering diseases years after the disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Kate \/ Brown","offer_id":32477391880240,"sku":"9780141988542","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/products\/9780141988542.jpg?v=1604750394","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9780141988542","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
