Atomic Physics?

An Outline of Atomic Physics,
      by the Members of the Physics Staff of the University of Pittsburgh

What was atomic physics like in April 1946?  All I know is that "the  bomb" is not mentioned in  the book's index.  Probably because the bomb technology was still a secret at that point, maybe even from the Russians!

Other than  a little underlining, the book is in good shape. This 414 page hardcover includes many diagrams and even some photographs :one of an electric generator with a cascade- type vacuum tube. That huge thing  looks pretty weird to me.   Buy this book!  To be found in the physics section of our store, priced at $4.
