In 1946 he returned to Pittsburgh as an assistant professor and spent the rest of his career there. In 1955, he published Introductory Nuclear Physics, which became a classic text and was translated into four languages. The book was continued and expanded in 1987 by Kenneth Krane, see the Bibliography.
