Product Description
Review
"...an excellent resource for libraries and laboratories supporting programs requiring familiarity with nuclear processes in biology, chemistry, engineering, and environmental studies..." ( CHOICE , May 2006) "...an authoritative, comprehensive but succinct, state–of–the–art textbook for advanced students as well as a valuable reference source for practicing scientists and engineers." ( The Chemical Educator , March/April 2006)
From the Back Cover
A detailed perspective on both "pure" and "applied" aspects of nuclear chemistry The first succinct coverage of basic physical principles of nuclear and radiochemistry since Friedlander′s 1981 classic, Modern Nuclear Chemistry brings together a detailed, rigorous perspective on both the theoretical and practical aspects of this rapidly evolving field. The authors, all established experts in the field, bring their combined expertise to in–depth discussions of proven scientific principles, current trends, and applications in such areas as the physical, biological, and environmental sciences, medicine, and engineering. Requiring no previous knowledge of quantum mechanics and written at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in science and engineering, this book is designed to be used as a textbook as well as a reference for practicing scientists and engineers. Topics include: Nuclear properties, forces, and structure Radiotracers Alpha, beta, and gamma ray decay Nuclear reactions and nuclear astrophysics Fission Analytical applications of nuclear reactions Reactors and accelerators The transuranium elements Nuclear reactor chemistry Interaction of radiation with matter Radiation detectors Radiochemical techniques in nuclear research Instructors will appreciate the schematic approach to quantum mechanics, cutting–edge information on areas of current research, abundant worked examples and solved problems, and a clear organization that allows them to pick and choose sections to satisfy particular course requirements. Extensive appendices facilitate quick reference, and the inclusion of advanced materials and references will appeal to those who desire a deeper immersion in the subject.

First Sentence
Nuclear chemistry consists of a four-pronged endeavor made up of (a) studies of the chemical and physical properties of the heaviest elements where detection of radioactive decay is an essential part of the work, (b) studies of nuclear properties such as structure, reactions, and radioactive decay by people trained as chemists, (c) studies of macroscopic phenomena (such as geochronology or astrophysics) where nuclear processes are intimately involved, and (d) the application of measurement techniques based upon nuclear phenomena (such as nuclear medicine, activation analysis or radiotracers) to study scientific problems in a variety of fields.

decent, but due to known errors it doesn't deserve 5 stars

The book is fine but it CANNOT DESERVE FIVE STARS given the known errors it contains and the failure of the publisher to update this book. Instructors who assign this know about the errors (or at least they should) and continue to assign it because of the mix of topics and they way they are presented are pretty good compared to other texts that can be somewhat skewed.

Learned a lot from this book

I almost applied to be a Ph.D student in nuclear chemistry in the university in Oregon that the author works in. Too bad it was in the middle of nowhere. The book is pretty well organized and I feel that I learned a lot during the course and especially from the book. There seemed to me to be a lot of focus on the nuclear shell model. There are a number of mistakes though, but I had been given an erratum which I think the author has available. At any rate, you won't be disappointed.
