New York: Praeger, 1990. First Paperback Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. xx, [2], 294, [4] pages. Figures. Acronyms and Abbreviations. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. David S. Meyer is Professor of Sociology, Political Science, and Planning, Policy, and Design. His general areas of interest include social movements, political sociology, and public policy, and he is most directly concerned with the relationships between social movements and the political contexts in which they emerge. He teaches courses on social movements, social problems, and sociological theory. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Boston University, and a B.A. from Hampshire College, where he studied literature. Behind a surge of support for the Freeze idea in the 1980s lay growing public concerns about the outbreak of nuclear war. In the late 1970s, Soviet-American détente unraveled and the Cold War began to revive, with new conflicts emerging in Africa, Central America, and Afghanistan. That caused nuclear arms control agreements between the two superpowers, such as SALT II, to be jettisoned and each embarked on dangerous nuclear expansion programs. The Soviet government began to replace its older nuclear weapons with more accurate, intermediate-range SS-20 missiles, directly threatening Western Europe. For its part, the US government announced plans for a NATO nuclear buildup with an enhanced radiation weapon (the neutron bomb) and, after that venture collapsed thanks to public protest, with a new generation of intermediate-range nuclear weapons: cruise and Pershing II missiles.

Since December 1992 he has been in charge of scientific operations at the Russian Federal Nuclear Center--the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF). He is a doctor of technical sciences, a professor, the author of more than 260 scientific works, a recipient of the Lenin and State prizes, and the founder of the scientific school of the physics of explosive nuclear fission and penetrating radiation single-pulse diagnostics. From 1969 to 1988 Mikhaylov directed the research institute on nuclear impulse technology. He personally oversaw more than 100 nuclear experiments during his directorship. In 1992, Mikhaylov was selected to head the newly formed Ministry of Atomic Energy, or MinAtom. Under his tenure Russia maintained its nuclear infrastructure and saw an increase in international cooperation on atomic energy. From 1999 Mikhaylov led the Institute of Strategic Stability, and from 1992 to 2007 was chairman of RosAtom's consulting division and manager of the Federal center for Nuclear Research. More
