Abstract
Otto Hahn gave a series of lectures at Cornell University early in 1933 which were published as a book in 1936 under the title “Applied Radiochemistry” [1]. These lectures were given just before the discovery of artificial radioactivity, and thus the book appeared just in time to have maximum impact on the numerous newcomers to radiochemistry who were brought into this field as a result of this and subsequent exciting discoveries. To this group of neophytes, including myself, his book assumed the role of “bible”.
