Thanks Ehild - nice try, but not the book unfortunately. Incidentially, these people look to have scanned the book you mention, and made it somewhat available: https://archive.org/details/storyofatomicene00ferm

I have enquired on two "name that book" forums with no luck. I thought this forum would be possibly useful because, given the make-up of the membership, there is a good chance that someone would remember it.

Yes, I have looked at that too, and yes, they have one on "Atomic Energy", but that's 1966. Thanks anyway.

This has been bugging me for a year or so - sorry if this is off topic, but would anyone on the forum be able to name a book on atomic physics I read as a child? It was a non-fiction, illustrated picture book I read as in the late 70's or very early 80's, giving the history of atomic science...
