Abstract
“X-RAYS in Theory and Experiment” was originally conceived as a second edition of Compton's deservedly celebrated “X-Rays and Electrons”. That book was published just at the time when the great revolution in physical theory, characterised by the new quantum mechanics, was making itself felt, and the changes which this new outlook produced?changes due not in small part to the work of the authors?have caused instead a second book to be written, twice as large, and containing far more than twice the amount of data and interpretation.
