What is The Restless Atom: the Awakening of Nuclear Physics about?
"The Restless Atom belongs to the Science Study Series published by the Physical Science Study Committee of Educational Services, Inc., w h o s e main purpose is to provide collateral reading for the secondary school physics program now being developed by the committee. However, the level of presentation is aimed not only at the high school student, but also at the college undergraduate and the general public, by offering to them "the most stirring and fundamental topics of physics, from the smallest known particles to the whole universe."

The author succeeds in fulfilling the aims of the series since his presentation is accurate, but at the same time skillful and sufficiently lively to hold the interest of the reader. The work described in the book was intimately interwoven with obtaining the definite proofs for the existence of atoms and elucidating their structure. The author even writes in his "This is a book about the experiments by which we have gained one section of our know
