The article itself is particularly satisfying in that the gist of the argument on any page can be discovered while skimming.
The book ends as it begins with the topic, "Muonic Atoms", where new, specifically nuclear information appears only after careful analysis. The measurement of v-ray energies by lithium-drifted germanium detectors has produced a revolution here as elsewhere. Now that the accurate energies are available, the uncertainty in a given nuclear parameter is as likely to be in model dependence of a calculation as in experimental limitations. Considerable theoretical work that preceded the possibility of accurate experiment has paid dividends and a considerable body of experimental data is presented in readily digestible form.
The chapters of this book do not constitute a textbook of elementary nuclear physics.
Ordinary use would involve reading one chapter either in preparation for research in the topic covered or as background for one closely related. The book, as a whole, is satisfying and an education to a reviewer. Perhaps in one case it has already served its purpose.
