Description ▲
Originally published in 1937, this book contains the modified text of the Henry Sidgwick Memorial Lecture for the previous year. Lord Rutherford discusses the contributions that the study of radiation can make to the problem of elemental transmutation, which mankind has attempted unsuccessfully for centuries. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in radiation and historical attitudes towards it.
