Radioactive Transformations describes Ernest Rutherford&;s Nobel Prize-winning investigations into the mysteries of radioactive matter. In this historic work, Rutherford outlines the scientific investigations that led to and coincided with his own research&;including the work of Wilhelm R&;ntgen, J. J. Thomson, and Marie Curie&;and explains in detail the experiments that provided a glimpse at special relativity, quantum mechanics, and other concepts that would shape modern physics.

This new edition features a comprehensive introduction by Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek which engagingly explains how Rutherford's early research led to a better understanding of topics as diverse as the workings of the atom&;s nucleus, the age of our planet, and the fusion in stars.
