The aim of this book is to present to engineers those parts of twentieth-century physics which are of greatest importance in engineering. The research of the last fifty years has not only seriously changed our understanding of physics but has also produced from this understanding devices and processes vital to present-day engineering. This book describes the modern physics of electrons, atoms, and nuclei and applies this basic physics to problems of engineering interest. The two most dramatic applications are to the transistor and to the nuclear power reactor, both developments of the last dozen years. There are many additional and equally important applications of modern physics in engineering, such as, for example, applications to the electrical, thermal, mechanical, and magnetic properties of solids and to the electrical and chemical properties of surfaces. This book has developed from notes used in a one-semester course in atomic, solid-state, and nuclear physics for engineering undergraduates which has been taught at Cornell since 1950 and has been taught several times extramurally to engineers in nearby industries. A book that has been read but is in good condition. Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. Average used book with all pages present. Shows signs of wear with some minor defects. See pictures for details.…

Store description
Hello and welcome to Grace’s Great Books!! I absolutely love collecting used books, and I wanted to open up my collection to other people that might be interested in finding used/vintage books without the hassle of hunting for them in stores. All the books in my collection are in very good used condition, and I’m sure I have at least one for anybody’s interests! I tend to gravitate more towards nonfiction, but I also really love old children’s books as well. I believe there is so much knowledge stored in these books, and I want to give them a second chance at life and to be enjoyed by new readers. I am always adding new titles to my inventory so I encourage you to check out my bookstore listings often.…
