At the time when Robinson wrote this book, the largest known source of radioactive contamination of the world's environment was a government-owned nuc ... lear plant called Sellafield, not far from Wordsworth's cottage in the Lakes District; one child in sixty was dying from leukemia in the village closest to the plant. The central question of this eloquently impassioned book is: How can a country that we persist in calling a welfare state consciously risk the lives of its people for profit. <i>Mother Country</i> is a 1989 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.
