Introduction to Nuclear Engineering (Hardcover)

This introduction to nuclear engineering hardcover is the textbook by John Lamarsh and Baratta, published by Pearson Education in 2017. It is an 816-page course text on nuclear engineering and power resources.

The book is written for students taking a first course in nuclear engineering, and for professionals who want a solid grounding in the field. Its subject area is technology and engineering, with nuclear power at the centre.

Nuclear engineering from the start

As an introduction, the book is meant as a student’s first full text in the subject. It treats nuclear energy as a power resource and builds the engineering ideas that go with it, chapter by chapter, across a long semester or two.

Why choose the hardcover

With 816 pages, this is a heavy book that gets opened often. The hardcover binding stands up better to years of use, which suits students who plan to keep it after the course and engineers who want it on the office shelf.

Who buys it

Undergraduate nuclear, mechanical and electrical engineering students, graduate students new to nuclear topics, and professionals moving into the power sector.

How the book is used in a course

An introductory nuclear engineering course usually works through the text in order, with lectures and problem sets built around each chapter. Because the book is long, many students keep it after the class and return to it in later courses or on the job. The 2017 Pearson publication date tells you which printing this is.
