Uranium Wars: A Free Audio Chapter

Just a quick fyi: Audible.com is giv­ing away a free chap­ter (in audio) from a new book, Ura­ni­um Wars: The Sci­en­tif­ic Rival­ry that Cre­at­ed the Nuclear Age (pre­view it on Ama­zon here). Writ­ten by Amir Aczel, a skilled pop­u­lar sci­ence writer, the book takes a close look at the sci­en­tists who dis­cov­ered the destruc­tive poten­tial of ura­ni­um and launched the begin­ning of the nuclear age. Since the book has been get­ting good reviews, I thought that I’d flag this free give­away. Also, as men­tioned here before, Audi­ble runs a reg­u­lar pro­mo­tion that will let you down­load a free audio­book of your choice (for exam­ple, Ura­ni­um Wars) if you start a 14 day free tri­al. Once the tri­al is over, you can con­tin­ue your Audi­ble sub­scrip­tion, or can­cel it, and still keep the free book. The choice is yours. You can ini­ti­ate that process here.
