Simplifying nuclear physics and engineering by Devabhaktuni Srikrishna (San Francisco, CA)

5 Stars
November 15, 2004
This book is pure fun to read... easy to follow, clearly written, and full of cool graphs. It invokes the engineer, physicist, and statistician in you all at once. If for nothing else but having fun, you should get a copy and read it. But wish it wasn't so expensive.
