Richly illustrated and with a wealth of materials never before available in English, Prayers in Stone provides an overview of more than 200 of Nagasaki's A-bomb heritage sites, including: bells; bridges; cemeteries; churches; fountains; memorials; museums; parks; schools; shrines; statues; temples; trees; and tunnels. 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 foreword, 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.
