Nuclear physics began long before the identification of fundamental particles with J J Thomson's discovery of the electron at the end of the 19th century which implied the existence of a positive charge in the atom to make it neutral In this Very Short Introduction Frank Close gives an account of how this area of physics has progressed including the recognition of how heavy nuclei are built up in the cores of stars & in supernovae the identification of quarks & gluons & the development of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) Exploring key concepts such as the stability of different configurations of protons & neutrons in nuclei Frank Close shows how nuclear physics brings the physics of the stars to Earth & provides us with important applications particularly in medicine ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable ...

Much misinformation has been published by those who support as well as those who are against the continued deployment of nuclear weapons as instruments of deterrence This book provides an apolitical description of nuclear weapons how they are designed how they work & how they are assigned to different targets in the event of conflict The underpinning purpose of the book is to provide a descriptive manual on what they are how they are categorized how they would be sent to their targets & how they have changed as revealed through their design & potential application As well as a Workshop Manual this book would be a guide to public understanding expressed in a dispassionate & factual manner for information which many people find hard or impossible to obtain Nuclear weapons do exist & they cannot be wished away & because of that an entirely fact-based & balanced account is helpful to those who seek to understand this emotively sensitive subject delivered as a seminal reference This book incorporates a balance of cutaway diagrams images of hardware & test equipment facilities & delivery systems & traces the evolution of nuclear weapons over the past 70 years Much misinformation has been published by those who support as well as those who are against the continued deployment of nuclear weapons as instruments of deterrence Prepare for an apolitical description of nuclear weapons how they are designed how they work & how they are assigned to different targets in the event of conflict ...

Despite not having been used in anger since Hiroshima & Nagasaki the atomic bomb is still the biggest threat that faces us in the 21st century As Bill Clinton's first secretary of defence Les Aspin aptly put it ' The Cold War is over the Soviet Union is no more But the post-Cold War world is decidedly not post-nuclear' For all the effort to reduce nuclear stockpiles to zero it seems that the bomb is here to stay This Very Short Introduction reveals why The history & politics of the bomb are explained from the technology of nuclear weapons to the revolutionary implications of the H-bomb & the politics of nuclear deterrence The issues are set against a backdrop of the changing international landscape from the early days of development through the Cold War In this new edition Joseph M Siracusa

Includes:: a new concluding chapter moving away from the emphasis of nuclear weapons in the 'age of terrorism' to the significant lessons to be learnt from the history of the nuclear weapons era Siracusa shows that because 21st century nuclear proliferation has deep roots in the past an understanding of the lessons of this nuclear history is paramount for future global policies to be successful ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable
