This little gem of a book is a lot like a nucleus: a lot of good stuff packed into a tiny volume! It is very clear and concise.

Emerging from my dissertation-induced reading break to read… nuclear physics lectures. Somewhat outdated but readable. I hope the good folks at INL appreciate my background research.
