It's Almost Here!

And you can get it at a big discount if you pre-order using the code below!

The news from the University Press of Florida is that my book, The Archaeology of the Cold War, will hit the shelves on July 19th. It's been a long time coming, but it has been well worth the effort and wait.

More great news is that folks at UPF have also provided me with a discount code for family and friends (that's you guys) that will save you almost 60 percent off the book's retail price. Yup, that's right, the book is going to retail for $74.95, but using the code AU616 at the UPF checkout you can buy it from the publisher for just $30. You can't get that deal on Amazon.

Besides presenting information on the development of the North American Cold War built landscape and case studies of investigations conducted at some famous--and some not so famous--historic sites pivotal to the conflict (including Bikini Atoll, the Nevada Test Site, and the Cuban sites of the Soviet Missile Crisis) the book examines the preservation of atomic heritage sites, the phenomenon of atomic tourism, and the role (and plight) of America's atomic veterans in the archaeological study of the Cold War. 

For more information on the book, the great things that reviewers are saying about it, and how to get the discount, go here. But you'd better hurry since the discount code is only valid until June 30, 2016.

Also timed with the book's pending July release is a special column I've written for the UPF Florida Bookshelf blog about some investigations I've done on fallout shelters. That should be posting soon. More news about that and other stuff to come.
