Abstract
MUCH water has flowed under the bridge since 1906, when the second edition of Prof. Rutherford's “Radio-activity” was reviewed in NATURE by the present writer. Though its title has been changed, the work is not essentially different in plan from its predecessor. The fundamental aspect of the subject has not changed, but the pioneer investigations have for the most part been supplemented, and in a sense superseded, by subsequent work traversing the same ground, and the author has found it impossible to incorporate the newer work satisfactorily without entirely rewriting the book.
