Abstract
SIR ERNEST RUTHERFORD'S words of commendation in the Foreword to this little book are well deserved. “It is a clear and accurate account of radioactive phenomena written by one who has a first-hand knowledge of the facts.” “To all those who are interested in the development of our knowledge of this fascinating subject I can strongly recommend this book as a simple, concise, and accurate statement of the main facts and theories.” The diagrams are numerous, and, though on a small scale, are remarkably clear. Similar volumes on other branches of modern physics would be welcome.
