Book Reviews of Nuclear Physics: Principles and Applications
Book Review: Really good
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this book to prepare an exam corresponding to a 3rd year introductory nuclear physics course. I've received, in general, a really good impression, even though my contact with the text is been limited to the first -"Principles"- part of the book. My valutation, separating good ("+") and bad ("-") impressions is
(+) Lots of figures illustrating key concepts of the text, almost ever including experimental data plotting.
(+) Concise explanations.
(+) Structured treatment of topics.
(+) Explanations at an undergraduate level. Perfect for a 3rd - 4th year physics student.
(+) Little knowledge concerning other matters is required, just a few quantum mechanics and special relativity concepts that are anyway explained when needed.
(+) Author doesn't get lost into exhaustive and unnecessary mathematical developments.
(+) Supplementary appendices at the end of the book with useful imformation, also including every known isotope mass excess, half-time (or abbundance) and decay mode (if unstable).
(+) Includes exercises at the end of each chapter, solved in the appendices.
(+) Author refers to every theory valutating pros and cons of each one, never discarding any of them.
(-) More other books references while explanations are being developed would be helpful.
(-) Sometimes is difficult to discern which are the secondary or really important topics.
(-) If English is not your mother language you should take into account that sometimes a little bit complex sentences are used.
