MEET THE ATOMS: A Popular Guide to Modern Physics
By
A fine job of popularization for the reader who prefers the straightforward approach, rather than the goggle-eyed Sunday supplement variety. The author is an atomic physicist who can write engagingly and informatively, and who knows his subject. This is not a ""once-over-lightly"" job, because the subject matter does not permit a casual treatment. The serious reader will come away with a considerable amount of information and insight on a difficult and important subject.
