A Good Atomic and Nuclear physics book?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for books on atomic and nuclear physics include both popular science titles and textbooks. For a fun, engaging read, several participants suggest popular science books that explain concepts in an accessible manner. For those seeking a more academic approach, upper undergraduate level textbooks are recommended, focusing on comprehensive coverage of atomic and nuclear physics principles. Key titles mentioned include "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" and "Nuclear Physics: A Very Short Introduction." The discussion emphasizes the importance of choosing a book that matches the reader's interest level and background knowledge, whether for casual reading or serious study.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
