Brian Cathcart. Penguin Viking, London. 2004 First Edition ISBN 0670883212 308pp Illustrated Hardback. This fascinating book concentrates on the years prior to 1932. Professor Lord Rutherford, director of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, authorised through curiosity experimental trials to proceed on the hunches of Walton and Cockcroft who, later themselves, received the Nobel Prize for research into atomic nuclear theory. Painstakingly patient, the two scientists enter a race against time in being the first to announce the breakthrough. The announcement, on being first to transmute atomic nuclei, was made by Lord Rutherford, unusually at the Royal Society before official publication within the officially recognised scientific journals. Rutherford had no choice given the rapid advance of scientists elsewhere working on similar projects. Brian Cathcart gives a detailed and exploratory analysis of scientific trial and error, the developments in advancing artificially accelerated particles and the well documented practices at the Cavendish, the Cambridge Institute that has fathered major breakthroughs in scientific research. This copy is in FINE condition in a FINE unclipped dustwrapper. Ref P3, Books<
