Win Radio-activity Assembled By Ernest Rutherford Represented In Digital Copy

was the first book written by Ernest Rutherford, the brilliant, energetic scientist who went on to win theNobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on radioactive substances.
This remarkable book contained a complete survey of the contemporary knowledge of radioactivity at the time, a majority of which came from Rutherford's own groundbreaking research.
It served as the first textbook on the subject of radioactivity, The first edition of Radioactivity was published in, During this early part of the century, research on the subject progressed so rapidly that a mere year later Rutherford released a second edition of the text, which contained a substantial amount of new material.
This Juniper Grove edition is a photoreproduction of the second edition, which was issued inas a volume in the Cambridge Physical Series.
It contains all of Rutherford's original text, charts, and diagrams, Ernest Rutherford,st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, OM FRSAugustOctoberwas a New Zealand born British physicist who became known as the father of nuclear physics.
Encyclopædia Britannica considers him to be the greatest experimentalist since sitelink Michael Faraday, In early work he discovered the concept of radioactive half life, proved that radioactivity involved the transmutation of one chemical element to another, and also differentiated and named alpha and beta radiation.
This work was done at McGill University in Canada, It is the basis for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry he was awarded infor his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances.

Rutherford moved into the Victoria University of Manchester today University of Manchester in the UK, where he and Thomas Royds proved that alpha radiation is helium ions.
Rutherford performed his most famous work after he became a Nobel laureate, In, although he could not prove that it was positive or negative, he theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus, and thereby pioneered the Rutherford model of the atom, through his discovery and interpretation of Rutherford scattering in his gold foil experiment.
He is widely credited with first "splitting the atom" inin a nuclear reaction between nitrogen and alpha particles, in which he also discovered and named the proton.
Rutherford became Director of the sitelink Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University in, Under his leadership the neutron was discovered by sitelink James Chadwick inand in the same year the first experiment to split the nucleus in a fully controlled manner, performed by students working under his direction, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton.
After his death in, he was honoured by being interred with the greatest scientists of the United Kingdom, near Sir sitelink Isaac Newton's tomb in Westminster Abbey.
