Presents a shocking new picture of the world after nuclear war. Reveals that even a comparatively small nuclear conflict might trigger a "nuclear winter," producing conditions far more hostile to life than previously imagined. In the two principal papers, Carl Sagan presents the atmospheric and climatic consequences of nuclear war and Paul Ehrlich summarizes the dire biological implications. Also included is the text of the "Moscow Link" - an unprecedented dialogue between Soviet and American scientists on nuclear war
