| Summary: | THERE must be very few students of advanced physics who are unaware of the contents and scope of Richtmyer's important book. The appearance of the fourth edition is indeed most welcome and a matter of hearty congratulation to Dr. Kennard, who has kept the work so well up to date. The additions to the latest edition cover the more important advances of the last five years, and mainly take the form of extensive new sections on the properties of the nucleus, including details of the meson, fission and the transuranic elements, and on cosmic rays. Some basic portions of the chapter on atomic structure and optical spectra have been rewritten, with much advantage. |
