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.
But there is one review that was real and it said the diagrams are useless in the Kindle edition. And if that's true, then WTF is this doing as a Kindle edition?

The pic of the book cover shows a CD disk, so it must come with a disk of charts and images. Value-added in a pbook, but a drink coaster in an ebook.

My iPad does not have a CD-ROM drive ... Or any sort of slot ...

Thanks. I just bought it to go along with my new book. Both set me back a little, but hey, it's only money.
