This is a bit of a tangent, but there was a recent episode of npr’s radiolab that looked at the story of a man who was bombed in and survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, came from an interview with the author of a recent book on the subject.
The Journal of Historical Geography 2012 prize was awarded to a paper by David Fedman on how maps can show the bombing of Japan in World War II. Full details and some striking images here.
Thanks to Felix Driver for the alert.
