This comprehensive text provides an introduction to basic nuclear
physics, including nuclear decays and reactions and nuclear structure,
while covering the essential areas of basic research and practical
applications. Its emphasis on phenomonology and the results of real
experiments distinguish this from all other texts available.
Discussions of theory are reinforced with examples which illustrate and
apply the theoretical formulism, thus aiding students in their reading
and analysis of current literature. The text is designed to provide a
core of material for students with minimal background in mathematics or
quantum theory and offers more sophisticated material in separate
sections.

In this book the author
discusses the political story of the first decade of the reign of George III,
one of the most controversial figures in modern British history. George III has
often been blamed for the loss of Britain’s American colonies in an attempt to
restore royal power.
Peter D. G. Thomas confirms earlier findings that George III was not seeking to
advance royal power and throws light on the extent to which a system of party
politics existed at the time. Although the structure of British politics
provides the setting for this study, America, India, and Ireland are also
considered here as important issues of the time.
Some of the world's most esteemed experts--Nobel laureates, best-selling authors, and renowned scholars--engage in spontaneous and intimate conversations that combine hard facts with an inspiring--and breathtaking--look into our future.
