During this unprecedented time in history, access to printed books is becoming difficult or impossible. COVID-19 is forcing students, educators, and everyday readers to rely on digital books more than ever before. That’s why the Internet Archive has temporarily suspended all waitlists, allowing you to immediately check out any of the 1.4 million books currently in our lending library. Until June 30th or the end of the US national emergency (whichever comes later), every borrowable book will be immediately accessible by anyone—creating, in effect, a National Emergency Library.

Wielu z nas wydawało się, że po zakończeniu zimnej wojny temat bomby atomowej i nuklearnego wyścigu zbrojeń zszedł na dalszy plan. W USA zaprzestano prób jądrowych, a międzynarodowe traktaty spowodowały, że w amerykańskich laboratoriach nie tworzono już nowych rodzajów tej broni.
