A summary of the chemical, physical and nuclear properties of the transuranium elements is provided by this book. It contains unique accounts of the discovery of these elements by an active participant in their discovery. In a single volume, the chemistry, nuclear properties and synthesis of these elements is discussed. While there have been other books about the transuranium elements, there is no single volume like this book in which all aspects of the transuranium elements are discussed.

Written by established experts in the field, this book features in-depth discussions of proven scientific principles, current trends, and applications of nuclear chemistry to the sciences and engineering.
