Bernardine Atkinson
Ecological Sustainability, Nuclear Power and a Millennium of Replenishment is a compelling work from Dr. Bernardine Atkinson that aims to dispel pervading myths about nuclear energy. The book exposes a serious, monumental deception of nearly the entire population of Australia, by unconscionable forces of globalization, bent on acquiring inexpensive access to Australia’s substantial uranium reserves. By identifying and dispelling the eight significant myths used to dissuade the general public from implementing eminently safe, sustainable nuclear power and desalination technology, the book effectively states the case for a new definition of ecological sustainability. Written as a series of letters to the Australian people, and, now, the international audience, Dr. Atkinson’s book also provides a simple explanation for climate change and even offers a potential remedy, by calling for the world to unite and create a 'millennium of replenishment.' The book goes on to discuss the oldest biblical story known to humans, boldly suggesting that rather than being 'evicted' from the Garden of Eden, it’s possible that we ourselves desecrated it. Ecological Sustainability, Nuclear Power and a Millennium of Replenishment is not simply another treatise of doom and gloom, but rather, an enlightening, informative and empowering work that could inspire us to change our world for the better. Bernardine Atkinson holds a Master’s Degree from the University of Wales, Centre for Journalism Studies. She achieved her doctorate at the Charles Darwin University. She was inspired to write this book after witnessing the decimation of plants and wildlife in Australia and around the world. When she is not writing, Dr. Atkinson enjoys playing tennis, sailing, sewing and studying classical singing.
