The Curve of Binding Energy: A Journey Into the Awesome and Alarming World of Theodore B. TaylorPaperback, 1 April 1994

Theodore Taylor was one of the most brilliant engineers of the nuclear age, but in his later years he became concerned with the possibility of an individual being able to construct a weapon of mass destruction on their own.
