Devil's Tango: How I Learned the Fukishima Step by Step

Pineda has combed public documents related to the Japanese nuclear disaster and exposes the origins of the tragedy, the complicity of governments and world corporations, and the general media blackout. The book is an eye-opener and plea for citizens to wake up to the dangers facing us. There is a real possibilty of more Chernobyls, more Fukishimas (many opportunities here at home!). Pineda asks us to ask ourselves what is the price we are willing to pay for the energy to support our indulgent life-style. Surprisingly for its subject, this is a very readable book; the author, at 80, has boundless energy, wide-ranging poetic knowledge, a sense of irony and humor. Especially, she allows the reader into her heart and shares her passion for all life.
