In the present volume and in the preceding one we have stretched
our normal pattern of reviews by including articles of more major
proportions than any we have published before. As a consequence
each of these two vol umes contains only three review articles.
From the beginning of this series it has been our aim, as editors,
to achieve variation in the scope, style, and length of individual
articles sufficient to match the needs of the individual topic,
rather than to restrain the authors within rigid limits. We feel
that the two major articles of Vols. 5 and 6 are entirely justified
and do not repre sent unnecessary exuberance on the part of the
authors. The article by Michaudon on fission is the first
comprehensive account of the developments in this subject, which
have placed it in the center of the stage of nuclear physics during
the past few years. The discovery of fission isomerism and its
dramatic manifestations in the intermediate structure of the
neutron cross sections for fissionable isotopes are among the most
im portant and interesting events to occur in nuclear physics.
These events came as a surprise, and reaffirmed that the strength
of nuclear physics lies in the combination of ingenious experiments
with simple ideas.
