Lise Meitner, A Life in Physics, FISSION, RUTH LEWIN SIME 1996 1st Printing HBD

526 pages. University of California Press, Berkley, Los Angeles, London, 1996. Number line shows as 1st printing. Illustrated with photos. Hardback with unclipped dust jacket. NOT an EX LIB. "Deprived of the Nobel Prize she so clearly deserved for her contribution to the discovery of nuclear fission...Ruth Simes sets the record straight."

Jacket GOOD to VG. Moderate rubbing and edge wear. Covers VG+, minor signs of wear. Inner pages ACCEPTABLE due to highlighting and annotations of MANY pages, none of which obliterate any text (see example pic). Soiling to page edges as well as some waviness (don't know how else to describe it) of pages, probably from thick notes that were found inserted in it--see pic to illustrate (notes will be included OUTSIDE of volume). This is also what probably caused the "tilt" of the volume (see pic). Tightly bound.
