"Nuclear Physics: A Course Given by Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago. Notes Compiled by Jay Orear, A. H. Rosenfeld, and R. A. Schluter." Softcover Revised 2nd Edition '50/5th Impression (1955) in blue-gray wraps with black lettering on the front cover and spine. Fair condition. The covers' corners are creased, and the edges and spine are tanned with some edge wear. The spine is creased. Minor abrasion to the title pages. The interior pages are clean and unmarked.This volume presents, with some amplification, the notes on the lectures on nuclear physics given by Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago in 1949. "The compilers of this publication may be warmly congratulated. . . . The scope of this course is amazing: within 240 pages it ranges from the general properties of atomic nuclei and nuclear forces to mesons and cosmic rays, and includes an account of fission and elementary pile theory. . . . The course addresses itself to experimenters rather than to specialists in nuclear theory, although the latter will also greatly profit from its study on account of the sound emphasis laid everywhere on the experimental approach to problems. . . . There is a copious supply of problems."Proceedings of the Physical Society "Only a relatively few students are privileged to attend Professor Fermi's brilliant lectures at the University of Chicago; it is therefore a distinct contribution to the followers of nuclear science that his lecture material has been systematically organized in a publication and made available to a much wider audience."Nucleonics About the Author: Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) was the Charles H. Swift Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Chicago and winner of the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on artificial radioactivity produced by neutron bombardment. Fermi was one of the lead physicists on the Manhattan Project and played an important role in the first controlled nuclear chain reaction and the development of the atomic bomb.

Store description
Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.…
