First published in 1945, in the aftermath of the bombing of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Atomic Energy in Cosmic and Human Life
offers a unique account of the problem of atomic energy and the
underlying principles of radioactive decay. Written by the
pre-eminent physicist George Gamow, and dedicated to the hope of
lasting peace, the book was originally designed to give a complete
picture of what atomic energy is, where it comes from, and how it
can be used for better or worse. Featuring a number of graphs and
illustrations by the author himself, this small volume will
continue to be of value to those interested in the history of the
study of radioactivity.
