Sourcebook on Atomic Energy, 3rd edition by Dr. Samuel Glasstone. 20 Chapters!

Description: Possible former library book with library markings. Dust cover maybe missing. Desirable 3rd Edition! Very clean pages. A classic authoritative book of nuclear science. Nuclear fission energy produces much less waste than conventional fossil fuel and negligible air pollution and will make a large contribution in fighting climate change. Also, fusion nuclear energy has just made a break-though in becoming more practical in solving problems in our energy supply. This book will make you an expert in nuclear science. Former U.S. Navy School reference. Multiple copies available. Very few equations presented using algebra only. Good descriptive authoritative reference for engineering students or general readers.
