Trade Review
"Beautifully produced. In every lavishly illustrated page, every fascinating aside (did you know, for instance, that there are more atoms in a single glass of water than there are glasses of water in all the earth's oceans?) the book demonstrates the central role of nuclear physics in our exploration of nature." (Sesame) "The authors have produced an attractive book... The relaxed, informal style is easy on the reader and the story is told in a way I find appealing." (Nuclear Physics Review)"
