Nice introduction to nuclear physics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is a nice introduction to nuclear physics for the non-scientist. My only complaint is that it was not long enough. With only about 130 pages and many pictures and charts it really doesn't cover all that much material. I wish it were much longer, say, 200 or 300 pages or more. Nevertheless, it is the perfect book for those looking for a short, simple introduction to the basics.
