From the reviews: An Introduction to Radiation Protection aims to provide the reader with a useful reference tool for all areas of radiation protection, from introductory concepts including standard units and basic nuclear physics to the more specific techniques for selecting instrumentation and practical safety measures. ! features useful diagrams, which are used well to explain particular concepts, light hearted cartoon sketches drawn by the author also feature throughout the text. ! Overall the book would prove a useful addition to a radiation-safety professional's bookshelf ! . (Steve Pritchard, CERN Courier, Vol. 50 (9), November, 2010)
