Presents nuclear and particle physics in one textbook, indicating the connection between these closely related fields. Part 1 provides a summary of the main topics of nuclear structure physics whilst Part 2 provides the theoretical background essential to the understanding of particle physics.

". . .I like the level and style of the presentation. The explanations are clear, to the point, not overly detailed. The logic is made clear and some historical notes enrich the presentations. The preliminary diagrams are rather extensive and well chosen." Reviewer's Comment
