This book answers many questions for the layperson, student, teacher, and even practitioner as to the origins, properties, detection and measurement, and applications of radioactivity. Written at a level that most laypersons can appreciate, it includes many calculations that students and teachers may use in class work. Radioactivity: Introduction and Early History also serves as a refresher for experienced practitioners whRadioactivityRadioactivityHistoryNuclear physicistsRadioactivity.RadioactivityHistory.Nuclear physicists.539.7L'Annunziata Michael F722173MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784600003321Radioactivity1922043UNINA
