Abstract
PROF. RUTHERFORD'S book has no rival as an authoritative exposition of what is known of the properties of radio-active bodies. A very large share of that knowledge is due to the author himself. His amazing activity in this field has excited universal admiration. Scarcely a month has passed for several years without some important contribution from him, or from the pupils whom he has inspired, on this branch of science; and, what is more wonderful still, there has been in all this vast mass of work scarcely a single conclusion which has since been shown to be ill-founded. The general scope of the present work has been noticed in these columns in a review of the first edition. Before passing to the discussion of special points, it is only necessary to say that the second edition fully maintains the reputation of its predecessor for completeness and suggestiveness of treatment. Radio-activity. By Prof. E. Rutherford Second edition. Pp. xiv + 580. (Cambridge: The University Press, 1905.) Price 12s. 6d. net.
