(This book introduces the quantum theory of angular moment...)
This book introduces the quantum theory of angular momentum to students who are unfamiliar with it and develops it to a stage useful for research. The first part contains the basic theory of rotations and angular momentum. As the book aims to emphasize applications, mathematical details are avoided and difficult theorems stated without proof. The second part contains examples of applications to a wide range of physical phenomena and presents a collection of results helpful in solving problems.

(During past years many countries constructed large accele...)
During past years many countries constructed large accelerators for investigating heavy ion collisions, and new theoretical techniques for analysing results and making predictions were developed. Semi-classical methods were studied in the early days of quantum mechanics. Their application to heavy ion collisions has led to new advances and a number of different schools have grown up, each one emphasising different aspects of the theory. The aim of this book is to present a unified treatment of various lines of development. This book will be of great interest to graduate students wishing to learn about semi-classical methods in nuclear physics and to theoretical and experimental nuclear physicists, especially those working in heavy ion physics. It will also be of interest to research workers in other areas, such as atomic physics and quantum chemistry, where similar techniques are used.

(Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has reexamined it...)
Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has reexamined its basic assumptions about foreign policy and instruments of national security policy. This study examines the possible roles of nuclear weapons in contemporary U.S. national security policy. For most foreseeable combat situations, advanced conventional weapons are probably sufficiently effective if there are enough of them and they're used properly. Nuclear weapons remain the final guarantor of U.S. security, and the U.S. might wish to retain the traditional threat of nuclear retaliation to deter threats to its national existence. At the same time, it should have the operational flexibility to in fact use a modest number of nuclear weapons if the need was overwhelming and other options were inadequate. Training should include use of nuclear weapons in exercises. Any nuclear strategy the U.S. chooses will require a different set of nuclear forces and operations practices than it has now.
