This book offers an outstanding explanation of the seemingly paradoxical events surrounding two nuclear power plants in New England. Eckstein's points are so clearly presented that it is easy to see how his sociological analyses can be applied not only to the situations in the book, but to others in the world.

The book appeals to a wide array of interests as its combined look at the sociological, financial, managerial, political, and other factors intertwine beautifully. While I am going to strongly recommend this book to my graduate school professors, Eckstein's writing style makes the book suitable for undergraduate classes, too, as well any person in search of an enjoyable, intellectually stimulating piece of literature.

I can't wait for the author to publish again!
