This book examines narratives beyond the technological sublimethat dominates much nuclear photography, suppressing representations of the human form in favor of representations of B-52 bombers and mushroom clouds. The book proposes that the body is the site where the social environment interacts with the so-called atomic road: uranium mining and processing, radiation research, nuclear reactor construction and operation, and weapons testing. Co-published with the Art Gallery of Ontario to accompany a major exhibition there in 2014. Cameras have both recorded and - in certain instances - provided motivation for the production of nuclear events. Their histories and technological development are intimately intertwined: at McGill University in the early 1900s, for example, Ernest Rutherford employed photography to identify the properties of radioactive materials, winning a Nobel Prize for his research, and at Los Alamos in the mid-1940s, Julian E. Mack and Berlyn Brixner designed specialized cameras for measuring the blast yield of nuclear weapons. 500 $a "Published in conjunction with the exhibition Camera Atomica Art Gallery of Ontario 8 July 2014-25 January 2016"--Colophon. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Nuclear explosions in art $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons $x Testing $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons $x Testing $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Atomic bomb $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Atomic bomb $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Nuclear power plants $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Nuclear power plants $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Fallout shelters $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Fallout shelters $v Pictorial works. 700 1 $a O'Brian, John, $d 1944- $e editor. 710 2 $a Art Gallery of Ontario, $e host institution. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=743A1C5455EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
