Introduction

Big ideas sometimes deal with very small things, and small things are often 
exceedingly important. Witness the atom. Scientists have had some of their 
biggest ideas about these tiny particles of matter. Their ideas about atoms have 
changed as discoveries have brought new information into the picture. The How 
and Why Wonder Book of Atomic Energy takes the science-minded reader along 
the exciting road of discovery about the atom that led to the first use of atomic 
energy in a controlled way, and tells how people from many countries made 
scientific contributions.

The life-blood of scientific activity is in exploring all parts of the universe - even 
the tiny parts represented by atoms - and explaining the events that take place. 
Though individual atoms cannot be seen, they are the basis of all matter. And in 
the search for more information about atoms, scientists gradually came upon new 
knowledge about the energy within. This book tells this wonderful story.

Parents and schools will want to place The How and Why Wonder Book of Atomic 
Energy alongside the other books in this series. It not only brings the young reader 
up to date on the development of atomic energy, but challenges one to think about 
the yet-to-come atomic age of the future.
