Two expert reviewers, Dr. Ian Fairlie and Dr. Monty Charles, have herein provided their insights regarding this publication. CHERNOBYL: CONSEQUENCES OF THE CATASTROPHE
FOR PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Author: Alexey V. Yablokov, Vassily B. Nesterenko, Alexey V. Nesterenko, Janette D. Sherman-Nevinger
Published by: New York Academy of Sciences, Boston, MA, USA
ISBN: 978-1-57331-757-3, £80.00, E92.00 (soft cover)
“………..The author’s view is that there is much valuable information here, notwithstanding western criticisms of eastern science’s protocols. This does not necessarily mean every detailed point in these summaries is accepted without question…….. Nevertheless, the publication of summaries of
hundreds of research reports on the health and environmental consequences of Chernobyl originally
published in Russian and Ukrainian is a welcome addition to the literature in English. ……
