1.0 out of 5 stars Nuclear Physics
The book came in a really pathetic shape....I can see the water marks all over the front pages. I ordered a used book that described that the book is in good shape but it is not. utterly disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuclear Physics, May 7, 2006
This book was based originally on a series of lectures, and is intended for readers who, while interested in natural sciences, have no previous training in theoretical physics and yet are familiar to a certain extent with physical ideas. In conformity with the express wish of the Verband deutscher Elektrotechniker, under whose auspices the lectures were given, a short history of atomic physics, as well as a general review of contemporary knowledge of atomic and nuclear structure, are included here as an introduction...In my treatment of nuclear physics, I have departed somewhat from the method followed by other popular books on the subject, inasmuch as I have attempted to begin my discourse with the theory of the processes and reactions within the atom, and to discuss practical applications in conclusion only. At the same time, it was essential to make the theory intelligible without resort to mathematics, with the aid of illustrative models and by citing as analogies certain more widely known related phenomena...In the present volume, the technical apparatus of nuclear physics is discussed in the seventh chapter only; the eighth, and last, chapter presents a survey of the practical applications acchieved up to the present time.
