Sarah Alisabeth Fox highlights the personal cost of nuclear testing and uranium extraction in the American West through extensive interviews with "downwinders," the Native American and non-Native residents of the Great Basin region affected by nuclear environmental contamination and nuclear-testing fallout. These downwinders tell tales of communities ravaged by cancer epidemics, farmers and ranchers economically ruined by massive crop and animal deaths, and Native miners working in dangerous conditions without proper safety equipment so that the government could surreptitiously study the effects of radiation on humans. In chilling detail Downwind brings to light the stories and concerns of these groups whose voices have been silenced and marginalized for decades in the name of "patriotism" and "national security."--Publisher description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 17 Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1715437 650 0 Uranium miners|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh90005030|xHealth and hygiene|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005597|zWest (U.S.)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85146140-781 650 0 Uranium mines and mining|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85141292|xHealth aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005598|zNavajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no97004282-781 650 0 Nuclear weapons testing victims|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85093138|zWest (U.S.)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85146140-781 650 0 Nuclear weapons|xTesting|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85093130|xHealth aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005598 650 0 Nuclear industry|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85092998|xHealth aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00005598|zWest (U.S.)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85146140-781 650 0 Radiation|xHealth aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010109293|zWest (U.S.)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85146140-781 650 7 Uranium miners|xHealth and hygiene.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1162302 650 7 Uranium miners.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1162301 650 7 Uranium mines and mining|xHealth aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1162311 650 7 Uranium mines and mining.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1162303 650 7 Nuclear weapons testing victims.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1041053 650 7 Nuclear weapons|xTesting|xHealth aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1041013 650 7 Nuclear weapons|xTesting.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1041006 650 7 Nuclear industry|xHealth aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1040288 650 7 Nuclear industry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1040250 650 7 Radiation|xHealth aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1086854 650 12 Radioactive Fallout|xadverse effects.|0https:// id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011847Q000009 650 12 Radioactive Fallout|xhistory.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh /D011847Q000266 651 2 Southwestern United States.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ D015206 650 22 History, 20th Century.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ D049673 650 22 Mining|xhistory.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ D008906Q000266 650 22 Nuclear Weapons|xhistory.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ D054043Q000266 651 7 Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico & Utah.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1715437 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFox, Sarah Alisabeth, 1981-|tDownwind. |dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, [2014] |z9780803255371|w(DLC) 2014023111|w(OCoLC)877370460 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=842839|zOnline eBook.
