Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the rapid developments in the study of radioactive elements since 1896, when Henri Becquerel discovered uranium's radioactivity. The author describes how research shows that several radioactive elements, such as radium, thorium, and actinium, are constantly emitting radiation and particles as they disintegrate into simpler atoms, and examines the medical and scientific significance of this phenomenon. The book also explores the resulting changes in scientific understanding of the nature of matter and energy, the composition of the universe, and the evolution of the Earth, the solar system, and life itself. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of this field of research, discussing key theories, experiments, and discoveries, and illustrating them with clear diagrams and graphs.
