Nuclear Physics, Atomic Science & Engineering
Nuclear Physics by Irving Kaplan of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, published by Addison-Wesley. This is the second edition, second printing issued in March 1964. A substantial 770-page academic reference providing an extensive treatment of nuclear structure, radioactive decay, particle interactions, nuclear reactions, fission, gamma radiation, experimental methods, and related principles of atomic science.
Kaplan’s work became a widely used university-level introduction to the field and offers a fascinating view of nuclear science during the height of America’s atomic-age research and development. The text includes mathematical explanations, diagrams, tables, graphs, and experimental data. An excellent reference for physicists, nuclear engineers, advanced students, universities, and collectors of vintage scientific literature.
The hardcover remains in good vintage condition with a solid binding and clean, readable pages. The red covers show moderate shelf wear, rubbing, scuffing, worn corners and spine ends, small surface marks, and age-related discoloration. No dust jacket is present.
