The book is comprised of five parts, Microdosimetry, Bystander effect and transformation, Apoptosis (cell death) and signal transduction, Adaptive responses and immune responses, Cancer and epidemiology, including a series of papers to represent the progress going on, which undoubtedly will make an important contribution to this research field. There are 22 papers ranging from the theoretical considerations, for example, 'The dual response to low-dose irradiation: induction vs. prevention of DNA damage' by Dr. Feinendegen et al., in which they discussed the net dose-risk function suggesting that the incidence of cancer is less likely to be proportional to dose than to exhibit a threshold, to the experimental studies as well as to epidemiology of cancer risk of a large population lived in the area exposed to high levels of natural radiation, the Kerala coast, India. Its coverage from mice to human will make it particularly useful for students and health professionals in the fields of radiation research, health physics, environmental protection as well as regulatory control.
