9781603550581: Radio-activity

Synopsis

Radio-activity was the first book written by Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937), the brilliant, energetic scientist who went on to win the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on radioactive substances. This remarkable book contained a complete survey of the contemporary knowledge of radioactivity at the time, a majority of which came from Rutherford's own groundbreaking research. It served as the first textbook on the subject of radioactivity. The first edition of Radio-activity was published in 1904. During this early part of the century, research on the subject progressed so rapidly that a mere year later Rutherford released a second edition of the text, which contained a substantial amount of new material. This Juniper Grove edition is a photo-reproduction of the second edition, which was issued in 1905 as a volume in the Cambridge Physical Series. It contains all of Rutherford's original text, charts, and diagrams.
