The authors are trying to cover too much in this book I think. The mixing of trivial equations plus very advanced ones, without any derivations are not nice. What is the audience for this book? I dont know, but I would not recomend this book for the beginner. And it does not contain enough advanced material to serve as a reference later either, so this book is pretty useless I think.
If you want to learn about these topics, go for one Intro book in Nuclear, such as Krane or Lilly. And particle physics Griffiths perhaps.
