Abstract
THE first German edition of this work and its English translation were reviewed in NATURE of March 9, 1929 (p. 362). Since that time it has been more than doubled in thickness by the addition of chapters on parahydrogen, Dirac's theory of the electron, the positron and applications of the Fermi statistics to metallic electrons. As before, stress is laid upon fundamental principles rather than detailed mathematical proofs, for which the reader is referred to the original sources, so that the book will appeal to anyone who desires an up-to-date and, within limits, a readable account of recent work in atomic physics.
