Abstract
THIS book was published originally in German in 1923, then in English in 1926 (reviewed in NATURE, 118, 475; 1926), again in German in 1931 (reviewed in NATURE, 129, 560; 1932), and now appears a second time in English. This new edition has come out at a most appropriate time. It is the only book of its size and scope that includes the great discoveries that have been made in the subject since 1932, discoveries which in fact and interest have exceeded the wildest dreams of the most sanguine workers of ten years ago. They have so enriched and enlarged the subject of radioactivity that the earlier treatises published before 1932, excellent as they were when they appeared, are, if still readable, greatly shorn of interest.
