Vintage NUCLEAR PHYSICS 1956 2nd Printing Cold War Illustrated Atomic Theory

Description: FOR PURCHASE ~ Nuclear PhysicsIrving Kaplan. Cambridge, Mass.: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. 1956. Mid-1950s nuclear physics text. Second printing (January, 1956). Illustrated with myriad b/w drawings, charts, etc.In his Preface, the author writes: I have tried to write an elementary, yet coherent, account of nuclear physics suitable as an introduction to this field. The book is elementary in the sense that the reader is assumed to have had no previous exposure to atomic and nuclear physics. It is supposed that he has had a two-year college course in physics covering approximately the material contained in Sears' books: Mechanics, Heat, and Sound; Electricity and Magnetism; and Optics, in the Addison-Wesley Physics Series. It is also assumed that the reader is familiar with the differential and integral calculus; a one-year course in general chemistry would be helpful, if not essential. This book should therefore be useful in an advanced undergraduate course in nuclear physics, to engineers interested in the large-scale applications of nuclear physics grouped together under the name "nuclear engineering,” or to anyone else with the indicated preparation who might be interested in nuclear physics.Octavo in grey, clothbound boards.
