While you can buy a best-seller for a few dollars, at the same time there are medicine book at $400 and nobody writes "Heart surgery?! What the heck?!! Who needs that?!" So, grow up reviewers, a medicine book is surely more worth than Tom Clancy because it saves life, and in an engineering book about nuclear science there is more science than in all best sellers together. As always in life, it's not appropriate to make fun of something you don't know, you may make fun of yourself.
You sound somewhat hysterical, histerius.

I am sure nobody would make fun of a printbook on that topic sold for this price but an ebook??? And who is the target audience, btw, nuclear scientits on the run, downloading it on their Kindles while checking in to Iran? Come on, it is funny
