Summary
Summary
Modern Nuclear Chemistry provides up-to-date coverage of the latest research as well as examinations of the theoretical and practical aspects of nuclear and radiochemistry. Includes worked examples and solved problems.
Provides comprehensive information as a practical reference.
Presents fundamental physical principles, in brief, of nuclear and radiochemistry.
Author Notes
WALTER LOVELAND , PhD, is a Professor of Chemistry at Oregon State University.
DAVID J. MORRISSEY , PhD, is a Professor of Chemistry and faculty member of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Lab at Michigan State University.
GLENN T. SEABORG , PhD (deceased), was a Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, and cofounder and chairman of the Lawrence Hall of Science. He is credited with discovering ten new elements, including plutonium and one that now bears his name, seaborgium. In 1951, Dr. Seaborg and his colleague Edwin McMillan were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for research into transuranium elements.

Choice Review
Writing from the perspective of pure and applied nuclear chemistry, Loveland (Oregon State Univ.) and colleagues are all established experts in nuclear chemistry and apply their combined expertise and experience to an in-depth presentation of principles, current trends, and applications. They provide both comprehensive and succinct coverage of nuclear and radiochemistry for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. There are solved problems as well as problem sets for each chapter, reference material at the end of each chapter, and an excellent bibliography. The outstanding appendixes discuss quantum mechanics appropriate to the field of nuclear chemistry and nuclear wallet cards of selected properties for all known nuclides and their known isomeric states. These make the volume an excellent resource for libraries and laboratories supporting programs requiring familiarity with nuclear processes in biology, chemistry, engineering, and environmental studies, as well as the controversial issues of nuclear wastes. Other similar works are Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry, by Gregory R. Choppin et al. (3rd ed., 2002), which provides a very good treatment but is oriented toward nuclear power and nuclear power applications. Nuclear and Radiochemistry, by Gerhart Friedlander et al. (3rd ed., 1981), has been the bible of nuclear chemistry but is not current. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. D. A.
