('The field has expanded in so many directions, in connect...)
'The field has expanded in so many directions, in connection with the increase in accessible energy, angular momentum, and nuclear species, and the new phenomena, which have been revealed, have stimulated conceptual developments concerning the significant degrees of freedom and their interplay in nuclear dynamics ... it would be impossible for us to provide an assessment of this vastly expanded subject with anything like the degree of comprehensiveness aimed at in the original text. At the same time, this text continues to describe the basis for the understanding of nuclear structures as we see it today ...'foreword from the new prefaceAfter many years, this classic two-volume treatise is now available again in an unabridged reprint. These volumes present the basic features of nuclear structure in terms of an integration of collective and independent particle aspects and remain a foundation for current efforts in the field. Central to the book's value is an approach that recognizes the many connections between concepts of nuclear physics and those of other many-body systems, and that deals boldly with the interplay between theory and experiment. Aside from the main text, which provides a systematic exposition of the subject, there are sections labeled ';Illustrative Examples';, which present detailed analyses of experimental results and the manner in which they illuminate the concepts developed in the text. Many useful appendices on general theoretical tools are also included, covering topics such as angular momentum algebra, symmetry problems, statistical description of level densities, and theory of nuclear reactions and decays.

Aage (Neils) Bohr was born on the 19th of June 1922 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Denmark. He was the son of Niels who was a physicist and Margrethe Norlund Bohr.
Aage studied at the Sortedam Gymnasium and the Institute for Theoretical Physics (now the Niels Bohr Institute) and graduated from the University of Copenhagen where he got a Master of Science in 1946 and Doctor of Philisophy in 1954.
Aage worked at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico as a secretary and lab assistant, then he worked at Niels Bohr in 1943-45 and at Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, Denmark as a researcher during the years 1946-49, at Columbia University in New York City as a researcher in 1949-50, at Institute for Theoretical Physics (became the Niels Bohr Institute) as researcher beginning from 1950 and finally as a director of Nordic Institute for Theoretical Atomic Physics (Nordita) in 1975-1981.
He has got a lot of awards such as Nobel Prize in physics (with Benjamin Mottleson and James Rainwater) in 1975, Dannie Heineman Prize in 1960, Pope Pius XI Medal in 1963, Atoms for Peace Award in 1969, Orsted Medal in 1970, Rutherford Medal in 1972, John Price Wetherill Medal in 1974, Ole Romer Medal in 1976. He received honorary degrees from the Universities of Oslo, Heidelberg, Trondheim, Manchester, and Uppsala.

1969He has been a member of six academies of science throughout Europe, the National Academy of Science in the United States, and has held membership in many other professional associations.
Aage was married to married Marietta Bettina Soffer in 1950 (died in 1978). And then he was married Bente Meyer Scharff in 1981. He had children from first marriage: two sons, one daughter.
