Pp. 245-390; figs. 28-48; tables 47-76 in: Vol. 9, July 1937, No. 3. Bethe wrote 'three monumental review articles--one on atomic physics, one on solid-state physics, and one on nuclear physics. The article on nuclear physics, which appeared in three installments in Reviews of Modern Physics in 1936 and 1937 and became informally known as Bethe's Bible, was the first comprehensive treatment of the subject ever to appear in print. A routine review article is just that--a review, or summary, of published work. But Bethe's review articles went well beyond that. Wherever he found gaps in the literature, he filled them in. When he felt that the work of other physicists was incomplete or unclear, he redid it. He simply recreated the subject' (Bernstein, Hans Bethe, p. 5; see also pp. 44-5). Hans Albrecht Bethe: Nobel Prize, Physics, 1967, 'for his contributions to the theory of nuclear reactions, especially his discoveries concerning the energy production in stars.'.

Buch
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First of this edition. This set of papers, first published in Reviews of Modern Physics, are referred to as Bethe's Bible. Bound in red cloth, titled "Nuclear Physics". The copy is bright, tight and square. The landmark papers were published in 3 parts: A) Volume 8, No 2, April 1936: "Nuclear Physics A. Stationary States of Nuclei" by H. A. Bethe and R. F. Bacher (pages 82-229), B) Volume 9, No 2, April, 1937: "Nuclear Physics, Theoretical" by H. A. Bethe (pages 69-244, entire issue), and C) Volume 9, No 3, July 1937: "Nuclear Physics C. Nuclear Dynamics, Experimental" by M. Stanley Livingston and H. A. Bethe (pages 245-390, entire issue). The copy includes nine additional papers. There is no title page. The text begins with the backside of the first article crossed out. The copy belonged to physics professor David Park, with his signature on the front endpaper, several of the articles, and with a few marginal ink notes. 9 additional articles are bound in, following the Bethe papers. Park's Physics Today obituary notes that his "Introduction to the Quantum Theory" may have been the first successful introduction written for advanced undergraduates.
