A mixed bag. The book is well researched and spans a vast number of scenarios, but that in itself is a bit of a problem, sometimes it seems it only skims the surface, and parts of it I already knew about. It also didn't flow as well as one might hope from a popular science book. However, the Hot Legacy chapter made it well worth reading and the omnipresence and longevity of plastics is truly frightening, if not quite as frightening as the longevity and toxicity of depleted uranium.
