The entries are organized into a series of tours for the convenience of tourists actually visiting the city, and to give the general reader a sense of the layout and the proximity to the hypocenter. In addition to a forward, introduction, postscript, and reference section, the book also includes all-new translations of A-bomb literature by several atomic survivors. Journey to Nagasaki, and discover the lessons the city has to offer.
