From the Nobel Prize–winning physicist who developed the famous uncertainty principle, *Nuclear Physics* provides an in-depth look at the study of the atom. The book was compiled from a series of Heisenberg’s lectures on the subject, and is detailed and accessible enough for anyone interested in the subject. Heisenberg begins with a short history of atomic physics before delving into the theory of the processes and reactions within the atom. *Nuclear Physics* is an essential book to understanding the atom, giving readers an unparalleled look at nuclear physics from one of the greatest scientific minds of the twentieth century.
