AUP & Unity Books warmly invite you to celebrate the publication of Mad on Radium: New Zealand in the Atomic Age by Rebecca Priestley



Less than a decade before the transition to the ‘nuclear-free’ policy in the 1980s, New Zealand was considering nuclear power to meet electricity demand, and our government was supporting uranium prospecting programmes. In her new book, prize-winning author Rebecca Priestley reveals much about our culture's evolving attitudes to science and technology, and uncovers the long and rich history of our country’s engagement with the nuclear world.
