   Yes, lots of books, including The Los Alamos Primer and the Rhodes   
   books. And cool pics and movies of bomb tests.   
      
   My wife had an uncle who photographed the h-bomb shots in the Pacific.   
   He died young of cancer.   
      
   We instrumented a bunch of stuff for the big linear induction xray   
   machine (1/4 mile on a side) at Los Alamos.
