"The sequence of chapters in this Thirteenth Edition is identical to that in the previous edition. Personality profiles continue with every chapter, highlighting a scientist, teacher, or historical figure who complements the chapter material. Each chapter begins with a photo mon…
Looks at the science and technology behind nuclear reactors and how they can be used to generate electricity.
The development of nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project is one of the most significant scientific events of the twentieth century. This revised and updated 4th edition explores the challenges that faced the scientists and engineers of the Manhattan Project. It gives a cl…
This book introduces a quantum-mechanical description of the nuclear fission process from an initial compound state to scission. Issues like the relevant degrees of freedom throughout the process, the way of coupling collective and intrinsic degrees during the fission process, a…

Particle Emission From Nuclei
"This book has three volume. The first volume is mainly devoted to the macroscopic-microscopic theory in its traditional form and extended to very high mass and charge asymmetry. Applications of this theory to the emission of different kinds of charged particles from nuclei are …
Theory of particle and cluster emission
Nowadays experimental nuclear physics pushes its limits towards highly unstable nuclei. The theoretical description of proton-rich and neutronrich nuclei or superheavy elements has become an important part of the modern nuclear physics. The main tool to investigate such unstable…
