Nuclear Physics: A Very Short Introduction

I was looking for a book that would give me a good introduction into Nuclear Physics and this book delivered.

This small 123 page book by Frank Close provides a light once over read on nuclear physics covering the last 100 years or so, right up to 2015. If you already know some part of the nuclear physics story this book will bring you up to date and fill you in on the big picture.

I like all the physics books by Frank Close that I've read thus far. He explains difficult subject matter in simplest way possible. Makes learning interesting.

I was looking for a brief but detailed description of nuclear physics and this little book fit the bill. I wished that I had this when I was an undergrad in EE.

Great tome! I'm now ready to work at any nuclear power plant.

An interesting read.

Pretty deep into esoteric math but very readable to the amature physics junkie.

The book explains the basics well while glossing over most of the complexities which is fair enough for the context of the book. Not having the many formulas appear in the Kindle version is unacceptable however and makes wide sections incomprehensible.

Good way to acquire new knowledge in a neat, no nonsense way

A book written by god himself. The best book of nuclear physics.

Well written and scientifically titillating...EXCELLENT INTRO...!!!!

Good for what it claims to be.

New nothing much about nuclear physics, until I read this book. I have a little more knowledge now on this subject. thanks to this easy to read book.
