This is the first of three volumes which together contain the
complete range of Lord Rutherford's scientific papers,
incorporating in addition addresses, general lectures, letters to
editors, accounts of his scientific work and personal recollections
by friends and colleagues. Volume one, first published in 1962,
includes early papers written in New Zealand, at the Cavendish
Laboratory and during the Montreal period (1894-1906), as well as
an introduction to Rutherford's early work by Sir Edward Appleton,
and some reminiscences of his time in Canada by Professors H.L.
Bronson and Otto Hahn. In each volume can be found photographs of
Rutherford and his collaborators, multiple graphs, tables, diagrams
and charts, and also pictures of the original apparatus which is of
historic interest.
This is the second of three volumes which together contain the
complete range of Lord Rutherford's scientific papers,
incorporating in addition addresses, general lectures, letters to
editors, accounts of his scientific work and personal recollections
by friends and colleagues. Volume two, first published in 1963,
includes the papers published by Rutherford when professor of
Physics at Manchester, 1907 to 1919. While the work of his
laboratory ranged over the whole field of radioactivity, he himself
devoted much effort to questions concerning the nature and
properties of the particle. Consideration of the scattering of
particles led him to the second of his outstanding achievements,
the conception of the nuclear structure of the atom, which opened
up a new era in Physics. In each volume can be found photographs of
Rutherford and his collaborators, multiple graphs, tables, diagrams
and charts, and also pictures of the original apparatus which is of
historic interest.
This is the third of three volumes which together contain the
complete range of Lord Rutherford's scientific papers,
incorporating in addition addresses, general lectures, letters to
editors, accounts of his scientific work and personal recollections
by friends and colleagues. The final volume, first published in
1965, covers his period as Cavendish Professor from 1919 to 1937.
Following on the immense fertility of his years in Manchester -
only overshadowed towards the end by the war - we now turn to his
last years as a world figure at the Cavendish Laboratory, where he
continued his work on the properties of the particle and the nature
of the atom. In each volume can be found photographs of Rutherford
and his collaborators, multiple graphs, tables, diagrams and
charts, and also pictures of the original apparatus which is of
historic interest.

Sir Ernest Rutherford (1871 1937) was a New Zealand-born physicist
who has become known as the 'father of nuclear physics' for his
discovery of the so-called planetary structure of atoms. He was
awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908. His co-authors, James
Chadwick and Charles D. Ellis also made significant discoveries in
the field of nuclear physics, with Chadwick discovering the neutron
particle in 1932. Research in nuclear physics in the 1930s had
become focused on investigating the natures of alpha, beta and
gamma radiation and their effects on matter and atomic structure.
This volume provides a definitive account of the state of research
into these types of radiation in 1930, explaining the theory and
process behind inferring the structure of the atom and the
structure of the nucleus. The text of this volume is taken from a
1951 reissue of the 1930 edition.
