Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection, 2nd Edition

The books is outstanding. The problems are great. Do not need another book to understand this book.

Solid and practical, purchased for graduate course in radiation transport

great

I am upset that my book did not show up with a receipt. I contacted the company that i ordered from, asked for one to be provided and got no response. This will cost me the amount of the book since my company will not reimburse me for it when the time comes. POOR BUISINESS!!!

I think this book it's a very deep and complete guide about the application of physic to te medicine. I recommend this book to the student and to the theacher .

This is a must have book if you work in the Health Physics world! RIP Jim Turner.

This text by James Earl Turner, Ph.D., M.S.(physics), M.S. (Industrial Hygiene), Certified by American Board of Health Physics), is a relatively concise but thorough treatment of the underpinning results of physics necessary for professional work in the field of protecting workers, the public, and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing or nuclear radiations. I have used this text as a secondary text to that of Herman Cember's text in other courses, and am now using it as the principal required reading for a course in Nuclear Environmental Protection (NEP520)in the Spring semester at The Catholic University of America, in Washington, DC, 2013. Dr. Turner, at his passing a couple of years ago, was probably the greatest theoretical physicist in the field of radiation protection at the time of his death, and also interested in teaching the practical information needed for the typical health physicist in performing duties related to the assessment of radiation doses and risks and providing protection against undue exposures. There is a 3rd edition that has been published. I am teaching from the second edition, so one should be sure which edition is desired and being purchased. Used 2nd editions should provide all the basics needed for adequate professional work. Sincerely, Allen Brodsky, Sc.D. Adjunct Professor, faculty of Catholic U, and Georgetown U in Washington, DC.

Spendi 137€ per un libro e quando ti arriva a casa è tutto rovinato...io non ho parole.

Absolutely love it! It covers such a wide range of topics that I constantly use it as a reference!! The example questions are also fantastic!
