About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This introduction to health physics is meant to serve as the basis for a two-course series in the study of radiation protection. … The book is meant for individuals wishing to study radiation protection/health physics. … the chapters discuss advanced concepts and mathematical models that are appropriate individuals seeking an in-depth understanding of radiation protection. … very useful as teaching text. It is clear and concise and the problems and examples further elucidate the material." (Dean W. Broga, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2008)
“The book, provides a definition for HP and a broad overview of the field. … a comprehensive text providing an overview of all relevant topics of HP. … the book can serve either as a reference for the practising HP or as a text for a course. … present the most up-to-date treatment of the topics covered.” (Michael P. Grissom, Radiation Protection Dosimetry, Vol. 138 (4), 2010)Editors and Affiliations
