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. Review: Useful Subject Text - This text was exactly as described. This text is used in many universities in North America. I had an course outline for the course the material covered and the text appeared to cover all learning objectives by looking at the table of contents. Unfortunately my class was cancelled due to lack of participants at enrollment. Review: Readable without short-changing the math - I got a PhD in nuclear physics 50 years ago, but did not work in the field during the intervening time. A year ago I decided to catch up as much as I can to at least learn what has happened in nuclear and particle physics while I was away. A modern text on these topics recommended this introductory nuclear physics book. I have not been disappointed.

best price you can get
Amazon surprised me when I found this book new for over half of what a used one cost at the campus book store. This book has been in use since the 1980's, and as such I didn't expect to find a new one at such a great cost. Thank you Amazon for helping me to stretch my child's education dollars!!!!

Ottimo libro!
Libro arrivato nelle tempistiche e in maniera impeccabile. Ottima la stampa, si legge veramente molto bene (il testo é in inglese), molto maneggevole nonostante la copertina rigida e di dimensioni contenute anche per chi, come me, piace leggere non sempre alla scrivania ma anche comodamente a letto o sulla poltrona. Le equazioni e i grafici sono ben definiti e ben leggibili. Ottimo per le lauree in Fisica e/o per approfondimento personale.

Introductory Nuclear Physics
海外の研究室に短期で入った際、そこの院生から薦められた本です。物理系の大学院生には知りたい内容が結構書かれています。 原子核実験・理論の全般について一通り書いてあるので、全部通して読めば相当知識がつきますし、分からない部分を補填する使い方でもよいでしょう。もちろん英語で書かれていますが、論文を読みなれている院生なら特に問題なく、良書です。
