Reference Materials – Oliver Stone’s “Nuclear Now” + “A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow” – May 17

.

Since Oliver Stone’s “Nuclear Now” is not yet available in theaters (and then only in a limited number, each of which typically has only one showing, usually in the evening of May 1), our weekly newsletter of 4/22/2023 to our 223 members said that “…..our focus book will be “A Bright Future: How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow” by Joshua Goldstein and Staffan Quist. And hopefully those who are able to see Oliver Stone’s ‘Nuclear Now’ which is based on ‘A Bright Future’ can provide extra context.”

Traditionally, each month’s “Reference Materials” section includes, inter alia, book reviews from –

The New York Times
The Wall Street Journal
The Washington Post

The Washington Post shirked its duty by turning a blind eye to “A Bright Future.”

However, the New York Times published a book review by Richard Rhodes – prolific author of, inter alia, the Pulitzer-Prize-winning “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” (1986) and “Energy: A Human History” (2018).

And the Wall Street Journal published an essay by the authors of “A Bright Future” which was adapted from their book.

In addition to the NYT book review and the WSJ essay, this section includes an article from the Harvard Gazette about a pre-release screening of “Nuclear Now” at Harvard followed by a panel discussion introduced by Harvard Professor Steven Pinker (who wrote the Foreward to “A Bright Future”) and featuring, in addition to Oliver Stone and Joshua Goldstein – MIT Associate Provost Richard Lester and the Director of Harvard’s Center for the Environment, Daniel Schrag.
