Concepts of modern physics
Intended to be used in a one-semester course covering modern physics for students. This book considers relativity and quantum ideas to provide a framework for understanding the physics of atoms and nuclei. The theory of the atom is then developed, and followed by a discussion of the properties of aggregates of atoms.
