Reviews

... contains a lot of valuable material and is not only a handbook, but also an excellent textbook. CERN Courier ... enriched with many references to useful websites, including databases. CERN Courier The book establishes both Holmes-Siedle and Adams as two of the most fertile and fruitful research scholars working in the field of radiation environments. Current Engineering Practice Holmes-Siedle and Adams' engrossing handbook is probably the most readable, ambitious and intelligent work on radiation effects yet published, that also stands out as a comprehensive guide to the literature, both printed and on-line. At the same time, it is technically accurate but accessible to practitioners as well as researchers ... a most commendable book. Current Engineering Practice
