Nuclear Physics by Frank Close
A concise, accessible overview of the atomic nucleus that explains how protons and neutrons bind together, surveys core theoretical models (liquid-drop and shell models) and the nature of the strong nuclear force, and describes radioactive decay and nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion. It also covers key experimental techniques and discoveries, connects nuclear structure to particle physics (including mesons and quark-related ideas), and discusses practical applications and social consequences—from energy and medicine to weaponry—while highlighting unresolved questions and ongoing research.
