This vintage hardcover edition of “Semiconductor Counters for Nuclear Radiations” by G. Dearnaley provides a fascinating glimpse into the early development of semiconductor technology for radiation detection and measurement. Published in 1966, during the height of the Cold War and the Space Race, this book reflects the intense scientific interest in nuclear physics and the need for accurate radiation monitoring instruments. Dearnaley, a respected physicist, offers a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of semiconductor counters, which were a significant improvement over earlier gas-filled detectors. This copy, though showing signs of its age with some wear and fading, remains in acceptable condition with clean pages and a secure binding, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of nuclear science and instrumentation. Collectors and readers with an interest in vintage scientific literature, particularly in the fields of physics and electronics, will appreciate the historical and technical insights provided by this seminal work.
