best choice - occasional errors - disconcerting jumps
As of early 2006, this is the best available choice for a text on the standard model of the weak force, and the possibilities for it's upgrade with the new neutrino discoveries.

This Book Will be a Collectors Item
Eugene Mallove tragically lost his life earlier this year in a simple act of barbarism.So odd that a man who devoted his life to one of the most neglected and abstract fields of science in the late 20th Century would die in such a senseless manner.Luckily, Gene's lifes work will not be a waste, as Cold Fusion is finally starting to achieve the recognition it rightly deserves.It will be pinoneers like Dr. Mallove who will be remembered for keeping the Cold Fusion flame alive during some of its darkest moments.Buy and read this book, it's sure to be a collectors item soon, as Cold Fusion will soon emerge as a mainstream field of science and Dr. Mallove will be exonerated for persuing such a taboo field of science.

A must read!
I am a Coast to Coast AM listener. I would like to have everyone read his book. It is remarkable. I think that the leaders of the world should all have a copy! I would also like to send my deepest prayers to the family of this beloved author, Eugene Mallove. He and his work will be greatly missed. Blessings to his family and friends.

Read this book!

Great Overview Book for PE and Defense Exam Preparation
This book is a comprehensive overview of nuclear engineering topics.It is that ONE book if you must rely on just one.It is similar to the Glasstone book but newer and with better text.The explanations in the Reactor Physics and Kinetics chapters are great and easy to understand.I wish I'd had this book as an undergraduate; that Reactor Analysis course would have been much more understandable! ...

A Historical And Regulatory Perspective Of Three Mile Island
"Three Mile Island" by J. Samuel Walker is a fine treatise on the Three Mile Island (TMI) accident in historical perspective. Walker deals less with the technical and physical aspects of the accident to take a more overarching view of the operations of TMI (and other nuclear plants) from a political, organizational, and managerial standpoint.
Lots of words, little content
This book was highly unsatisfactory.One cannot deal with specific deficiencies and keep to length limits: this will be general.
Valuable and Important
I really enjoyed this book. It creates context for the industry and its regulators as the TMI accident occurs, and then it reports the fascinating details that pushed the accident to the brink of affecting public health and safety and then pulled it back again. I think this book should be required reading for all public officials, federal, state, and local, who are in positions of responsibility to respond to a nuclear emergency. This book would help them stay humble and focused. Discussion on public health got close to sounding too sure that everything was and is fine in the TMI area -- not sure we know enough yet to say for sure. ... Read more

Very Nice Intro
This is a very good introduction to the field of space nuclear power. The authors provide adequate background material and include discussion and simple mathematical analysis methods to promote understanding of the various topics; e.g., neutronics, shielding, heat transport and rejection, and safety. Major programs are discussed in sufficient detail and technical issues are enumerated and discussed. The book is well written and easy to follow. Some of the latter chapters, however, are not as cleanly organized as the early chapters. Nonetheless, the book is concise, clear and essentially unique in its coverage of the diverse field of space nuclear power. ... Read more

You can tell a tree by the fruit it bears!
Harold Brackman's work here brings several questions for a reader to deal with. What is/was the motive for even writing a refutation to the Nation of Islam's book? In analyizing the references and cross-referencing said references with the NOI book, it becomes apparent that Harold Brackman's sources are extremely faulty, outright distortions, with degrees of hyperbole mixed in.
A country with a lack of irony
Obviously the author of the following quote is a .........?
Some contradictions already
I suspect, (and I am Man enough to say that I could be wrong) from the material presented here, that there is a huge degree of fallacy contained within the pages of this book. Let me point out a few things:
