#4 – The Science and Engineering of Nuclear Power, Addison-Wesley, 1947, 503 
pp, hard cover  [This is possibly the first published nuclear engineering 
text.] 
 
>From the Preface: “This publication and the second volume in preparation 
contain the essentials of a series of seminars initiated at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology in 1946. The objective is to present the fundamentals 
of chain-reacting systems in terms that are understandable to the non-
specialist, particularly to engineers interested in the industrial 
application of nuclear energy. Progress in this field requires the 
coordinated effort of many branches of science and engineering, particularly 
during the nest several years. Gradually, the responsibility will develop to 
a new breed of specialists, already dubbed nuclear engineers. It is 
anticipated that collaborative publications of this type will assist material 
in these developments.”
