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.

Fold and Say® Basic Concepts Mini-Books has 106 reproducible Mini-Books to help teach children 53 basic concept pairs. These mini-books present the concepts, one at a time, using several different scenes. Children learn the concept in the first few scenes and then identify the concept within a scene using a foil (unrelated concept). The last scene in the mini-book asks the student to draw, color, or write the concept for extra practice or assessment. Basic Concepts allows a progression from easier to more difficult concepts by dividing the concepts into Level 1 and Level 2.
