Abstract
THIS volume, completing a series of text-books, preserves the almost unique character of its complementary numbers in presenting, in a setting usually associated with an advanced treatise, an encyclopaedic elementary survey of atomic physics, the experimental side predominating in range rather than in detail, with a limited amount of mathematics simplified to the extreme. The order and scope may be indicated in the broadest terms as an exhaustive subdivision of the general chapter headings: electrical structure of matter; the nucleus; light and matter; waves and corpuscles; spectral lines and the structure of atoms; molecular structure (and spectra); structure of solids and liquids; electrodynamics of moving media; matter and energy in the universe.
