Summary

• Nuclear Decay Modes provides a comprehensive, fully up-to-date reference to the field of radioactive nuclei. Among others, subjects such as newly discovered cluster radioactivities, proton decays, [beta]-delayed decay modes, cold and bimodal fission mechanisms and particle accompanied fission are presented as well as recent progress in the more traditional fields of a, b and g disintegrations and spontaneous fission.
• The study of radioactive nuclei is rapidly expanding - with the development of new experimental facilities such as radioactive beams, ISOL facilities, magnetic spectrometers and large detector arrays, researchers now have the ability to produce nucleides far from the [beta]-stability up to the proton or neutron drip lines and hence to study their decay modes.
• This has led to a resurgence of interest in the field with a subsequent increase in the published literature, which until now has not been systematically presented.
