To this German edition, translated from the second English of 1905, Rutherford himself has added further descriptions of the results obtained in the years in between.Rutherford made "Proposal of a new theory of atomic disintegration and of the nuclear nature of the atom. Rutherford discovered and named the alpha, beta, and gamma rays."( Horblitt, "One Hundred Books famous in Science" No 91 (Engl. ed.)."After the discovery of thorium emanations in 1900 new concepts of atomic structure followed from the brilliant experiments of Rutherford.

First edition. This work marks a new epoch in the understanding of the nature of nuclear physics. "After the discovery of thorium in 1900 new concepts of atomic structure followed from the brilliant experiments of Rutherford. A new theory of atomic disentegration was proposed, then the nuclear nature of the atom. He discovered and named alpha and beta rays emitted from radioactive salts and predicted that disintegration of some radioactive elements would generate helium. he also produced in the laboratory the first artificial transmutation of one element into another."
