Congratulations to RCEI affiliate and Distinguished Professor Alan Robock on the publication of his new book, “Earth in Flames: How an Asteroid Killed the Dinosaurs and How We Can Avoid a Similar Fate From Nuclear Winter.” With this book, Robock expertly crafts a discussion about the death of the dinosaurs millions of years ago and how it is still relevant today, particularly in the context of the aftermath of a nuclear war. As international tensions and concerns about the nuclear threat increase now more than ever, this is a skillfully written cautionary tale and analysis spanning the past, present, and future.
