Weird. And totally weird that the publisher hasn't fixed this in the Kindle version. I mean, how hard could that be? <br /><br />J<br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761784460667108854.post-77679337600657657112013-05-16T16:12:36.193-04:002013-05-16T16:12:36.193-04:00I'm impressed with your commitment to a book o...I'm impressed with your commitment to a book of this magnitude, both in length and subject matter! (I'm glad we have this blog -- I'd rather just read your write up...)<br /><br />I talked to my grandmother once about the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima. To this day, it's pretty much the only time she says something positive about the US: "Thank god they came in and ended that war." She agrees it was a horrible tragedy, but the feeling of "It was the only solution!" is stronger for her.<br /><br />We were just talking about Chernobyl last week. Have you seen photos of what that looks like today? <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/9128776/Photographs-of-Chernobyl-and-the-ghost-town-of-Pripyat-by-Michael-Day.html" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a group of photos published last year (nope -- no relation to that photog). What we were talking about is that these look eeeeerily similar to so much of the "ruin porn" you see coming out of Detroit these days. Oof.<br /><br />Any followup from Amazon on that missing Epilogue? That seems like BS to me. According to the TOC list at <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/making-of-the-atomic-bomb-richard-rhodes/1100181521?ean=9781451677614" rel="nofollow">Barnes & Noble</a> for the 25th Anniversary edition, there is an epilogue.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832228313612518377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761784460667108854.post-47827492297375795622013-05-12T17:32:26.545-04:002013-05-12T17:32:26.545-04:00Update from Amazon: They say that the book is all ...Update from Amazon: They say that the book is all there according to what they have, and if I think there is an error, I should contact the publisher. <br /><br />Interestingly, I did look further through the Amazon reviews and someone else mentioned the lack of epilogue. I guess next time I'm in the real bookstore, I'll take a look at the pBook and see if there's an epilogue present. <br /><br />I must say, the email I got back from Amazon was rather terse. I've come to expect better customer service from them. <br /><br />Oh well. Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.com
