Ernest Rutherford
An engaging biography that captures the excitement of the early days of nuclear physics, Ernest Rutherford tells the story of the down-to-earth New Zealander who became one of the foremost pioneers of subatomic physics. Rutherford's achievements were numerous and included: * Inventing a detector for electromagnetic waves * Discovering the existence of alpha and beta rays in uranium radiation * Creating (with Frederick Soddy) the "disintegration theory" of radioactivity, which regards radioactive phenomena as atomic -- not molecular -- processes * Demonstrating that the inner structures of elements correspond with a group of lines that characterize them, which could then be assigned an atomic...

Radiations from Radioactive Substances
A definitive account, first published in 1930, of research into radiation leading to the discovery of the planetary atomic structure.
Radio-activity
A classic 1904 work, Nobel Laureate Ernest Rutherford describes his pioneering experiments with radioactivity. Includes a discussion of radioactive substances, examinations of the ionization theory of gases, methods of measurement, the nature of radiation, and the rate of emission of energy. Also includes properties of radiation, the continuous production of radioactive matter, radioactive emanations, more.

A Force of Nature: The Frontier Genius of Ernest Rutherford (Great Discoveries)
"Starred Review. Reeves deploys his considerable writing skill in portraying Rutherford's personality ... capturing the full aspect of the man."—Booklist Born in colonial New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford grew up on the frontier—a different world from Cambridge, to which he won a scholarship at the age of twenty-four. His work revolutionized modern physics. Among his discoveries were the orbital structure of the atom and the concept of the "half-life" of radioactive materials. Rutherford and the young men working under him were the first to split the atom, unlocking tremendous forces—forces, as Rutherford himself predicted, that would bring us the atomic bomb. In Richard Reeves's hands, Rutherford comes alive, a ruddy, genial man and a pivotal figure in scientific history.
