Abstract
The understandings of the new regions of large deformation and nuclear shape coexistence in light Kr and Sr nuclei and in heavy Sr and Zr nuclei are considered in terms of the most recent calculations of nuclear shapes. The importance of both the neutrons and protons having shell gaps which simultaneously drive a nucleus toward spherical or large deformed shapes is presented. Nuclear shape coexistence in the A=75 region should be more complex than reported previously.Keywords
