Abstract
PROF. ANDRADE is an old hand at explaining the mysteries of atomic structure ; his "Structure of the Atom" was the standard text in the days when electrons circulated on nicely calculable orbits around the nuclei that Nature provided for our study. The electrons have long since abandoned their tramway-like orbits and, like buses in a fog, have a mere probability of being somewhere near a given route ; new kinds of nuclei can be manufactured at will in great variety ; and we have learned how to use, or misuse, the immense energy of nuclear forces.
