| Title | Managing India's nuclear forces |
| Author(s) | Verghese Koithara |
| Publication | London, Taylor and Francis Books (I) Pvt. Ltd., 2012. |
| Description | xx, 294p. |
| Abstract Note | India is now enmeshed in the deterrence gameâactively with its traditional adversary Pakistan, and potentially with China. At the same time it is finding easier access to fissile materials and strategic technologies. In order to deal with these developments safely and wisely, the nation needs a much more sophisticated and multidisciplinaryunderstanding of the strategic, technological, operational, and cost issues involved in nuclear matters.
In this important book, Indian strategic analyst Verghese Koithara explains and evaluates India's nuclear force management, encouraging a broad public conversation that may act as a catalyst for positive change before the subcontinent experiencesunthinkable carnage. |

| Title | Physics of the Manhattan project |
| Author(s) | B. Cameron Reed |
| Edition | 2nd. |
| Publication | Berlin, 1. Springer
2. Springer-Verlag, 2011. |
| Description | xiii, 170p. |
| Abstract Note | The development of nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project is one of the most significant scientific events of the twentieth century. This book, prepared by a gifted teacher of physics, explores the challenges that faced the members of the Manhattan project. In doing so it gives a clear introduction to fission weapons at the level of an upper-level undergraduate physics student. Details of nuclear reactions, their energy release, the fission process, how critical masses can be estimated, how fissile materials are produced, and what factors complicate bomb design are covered. An extensive list of references and a number of problems for self-study are included. Links are given to several spreadsheets with which users can run many of the calculations for themselves. |
