Description
Isotopes: A Very Short Introduction by Rob Ellam provides an overview of these variant forms of chemical elements and their importance across various sciences. Isotopes are defined as having different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus, with some being stable while others are radioactive. The book explores the role of isotopes in archaeology, particularly in carbon dating, and their applications in nuclear power, medicine, and understanding the age of the Earth and the origins of the solar system. Ellam combines previous and new research to provide a comprehensive understanding of stable and radioactive isotopes. This introduction is part of the Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press, which offers pocket-sized books on almost every subject area.
