520 1 $a"This multidisciplinary study examines the exposure of American young people to atomic narratives during the ten years following World War II. In addition, it examines the broader "social narrative of the atom," the educational, social, cultural and political activities that surrounded and involved American youth. The activities ranged from school and community programs to movies and television shows to government-sponsored traveling exhibits on atomic energy.".
520 8 $a"The book also presents writings by postwar adolescents, who clearly expressed their conflicted feelings, and shows how many of the issues commonly associated with the sixties generation, such as peace, fellowship, free expression, and environmental concern, can be traced to this earlier time."--BOOK JACKET.
