After the death of Dr. Littlefield it was decided that I should
undertake the revision ofthe whole of Atomic and Nuclear Physics:
an Introduction for the third edition, and it was soon apparent
that major changes were necessary. I am confident that these
changes would have had Dr. Littlefield's approval. The prime
consideration for the present edition has been to modernize at a
minimum cost. As much as possible of the second edition has
therefore been retained, but where changes have been made they have
been fairly drastic. Thus the chapters on fine structure, wave
mechanics, the vector model of the atom, Pauli's principle and the
Zeeman effect have been completely restructured. The chapters on
nuclear models, cosmic rays, fusion systems and fundamental
particles have been brought up to date while a new chapter on charm
and the latest ideas on quarks has been included. It is hoped that
the presentation of the last named will give readers a feeling that
physics research can be full of adventure and surprises.
