Following the bomb that rocked the eastern part of Beirut today, I feel
compelled to share with you a picture featured in the gallery of a curious collection of books being sold in a Beirut bookshop while we were there last year.

If you look closely, you’ll notice there is one book with the
eerie title: "How to build a nuclear bomb," sitting next to titles someone felt were relevant.

What happened this morning is very sad, as it might trigger a further escalation in violence in this beautiful country with beautiful people. Here is the Lebanese blogger Raja’s take on this morning’s blast.
