Summer Reading...
Even if you're not in school anymore, you're probably doing some great summer
reading. NA-YGN would love to hear about favorite books about the nuclear industry,
supply chain or professsional development works. Your book review could even be featured
in a member announcement or GoNuke!
Some that I recently enjoyed include:
Linked: How Everything is Connected to Everything Else and What it Means-Albert Laszlo
Barabasi
The Radioactive Boyscout-Ken Silverstein
Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy-Gwyneth Cravens
