Abstract
(1) THE first of these books represents one of the most pleasing accounts of the present position of nuclear physics that the reviewer has read. It gives a most up-to-date description of the neutron and its properties, of natural and artificial radioactivity and of the new chemistry of the nucleus, couched in very clear language and eminently suitable for the general reader. At the same time, all important features of modern work in these branches of physics are covered in an extraordinarily complete manner. The work can confidently be recommended to all students, particularly those who wish to improve their knowledge of French.
