Between Stars and Atoms by Eibert H Bunte - 1962

London, UK: The Scientific Book Club, 1962. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 5.75 X 8.75. H/B 166 pages, condition is very good. Nuclear fission and fusion, relativity, radioactivity, galaxies, protons, neutrons, artificial satellites - these and many other new words and concepts are bandied about today in newspapers and popular literature without the man in the street having any very accurate idea of what they all mean and of how they fit into and affect his own way of life and future. This book sets out to explain, in everyday, non-technical language, the nature of these and many other modern technical concepts. The reader is taken on a pleasant and leisurely journey from his home on the earth into outer space and is also initiated into the secrets of the atom and the smallest units occurring in nature.
