Product Description

This book provides an overview of all relevant topics in the field of radiation protection (health physics). Radiation Protection and Dosimetry serves as an essential handbook for practicing health physics professionals, and is also ideal as a teaching text for courses at the university level. The text is organized to introduce the reader to basic principles of radiation emission and propagation, to review current knowledge and historical aspects of the biological effects of radiation, and to cover important operational topics such as radiation shielding and dosimetry. In addition to presenting the most up to date treatment of the topics and references to the literature, most chapters contain numerical problems with their solutions for use in teaching or self assessment. A chapter devoted to Environmental Health Physics was written in collaboration with leading professionals in this area.

"A little disappointed"
Written By: A. Lauzon
I was expecting a lot from this book since it is written by the very famous Michael Stabin, expert in the field of dosimetry. The book covers the subject of health physics very well, with a few typos here and there. But my biggest disappointment was to find the open-source web site wikipedia as a reference for many of the figures in the book. The author might have his reason for this, but I still think it is a little awkward for a book of this scope...
"Much needed book"
Written By: Dean Gillis
This is a much needed book. I good modern overview of what you would encounter in the field of radiation protection and dosimetry. The coverage of standards and their development is often missed in other works. Since you will spend a great deal of time referring to these standards knowing the actors and history is important. As someone in the field I would have liked to have seen a little more on international standards development. It was very refreshing to see a text where equations were defined clearly. So many physics books seem to revel in making you figure out that particulars authors flavor of equation definition.
I have found the book to be a great general reference and starting point for those new to the field. It is actually an enjoyable read. And having a joke thrown in once and a while was great.
"Excellent, well-written book"
Written By: T. Ushino
This is an excellent book for students of radiation protection and dosimetry. It provides a great overview of health physics from radioisotope decay to non-ionizing radiation. The technical content is balanced with good practical examples. I would like to recommend this book for anyone studying health physics or preparing for the certification by the American Board of Health Physics.
"That's my dad!"
Written By: Daniel Stabin
This book is the coolest. Buy this book so my family can have more money, but it is a very well written, insightful book, with jokes tosses in at the right times.

Check out his beard!
