Join us for a presentation by Dr Tom Bolton, London-based writer and researcher. Dr Tom will be discussing Atomic Albion: Journeys Around Britain’s Nuclear Power Stations.

Already destined to be a cult classic, the book takes travelogue writing, social, and also scientific history to regard the looming presence of the U.K.'s nuclear power stations and ask whether they are 'relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom?'

'No one has revealed more occluded or buried sources of fascination to me than Tom Bolton, and with this book he has excelled himself.'
Tom Holland

'Awesome in the true sense of the word, Bolton’s brilliant and disturbing nuclear travelogue manages to be elegiac as well as terrifying.'
Phil Baker
