Originally published in 1949 as part of the Cambridge Monographs on Physics series, and written in the aftermath of the great expansion of nuclear physics during WWII, this book by Samuel Devons deals with the excitation of 'bound' and 'virtual' states of nuclei, as well as radiative transitions between nuclear states. It will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of nuclear physics and in the development of nuclear theory.
