Sinopsis:

THIS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL MANUAL HAS SERVED FOR NEARLY THREE DECADES AS THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO THE SAFE USE OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS. COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED, THE FOURTH EDITION PRESENTS A NEW DIMENSION BY ADDING COVERAGE OF NONIONIZING RADIATION, AND IS THUS CONCERNED WITH THE ENTIRE FIELD OF RADIATION PROTECTION. THE AUTHOR TAKES THE NOVEL APPROACH OF INTRODUCING THE WHOLE RANGE OF ENERGIES POSSESSED BY PARTICLES AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TEXT, THUS INTEGRATING COVERAGE OF IONIZING AND NONIONIZING RADIATION RATHER THAN CONSIDERING THEM AS TWO SEPARATE DISCIPLINES. HE GOES ON TO COVER THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF RADIATION SOURCES, INCLUDING RADIONUCLIDES, X-RAY MACHINES, ACCELERATORS, NUCLEAR REACTORS, POWER LINES, MICROWAVE TOWERS, AND CELLULAR PHONES. WITH ITS EXPANDED COVERAGE, INCLUDING A BROADER FOCUS ON PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES, THIS NEW VOLUME WILL SERVE AS AN IMPORTANT TRAINING AND REFERENCE RESOURCE, NOT ONLY FOR RESEARCH SCIENTISTS, PHYSICIANS, AND ENGINEERS, BUT FOR REGULATORY OFFICIALS, ATTORNEYS, ENGINEERS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROFESSIONALS. THE BREADTH OF CITATIONS ALONE MAKES THIS RESOURCE INVALUABLE.

Cr�ticas:

Jacob Shapiro's well-known and successful text has been completely revised and updated in this fourth edition, expanding on the principles and practices of radiation protection and using updated ICRP quantities and concepts...Coverage of the entire spectrum of radiation protection makes this volume an important training and reference manual for a wide range of disciplines using radiation in science, medicine, academia, industry, and government. A nice touch is the inclusion of web site addresses for government agencies and scientific committees. -- Rose Marie Pratt Health Physics 20021001 The coverage is complete, the style simple, the order logical and the whole easy to read. Nature The book is very well written and organized into sections so that it may be used by students of various backgrounds and interests. American Association of Physics in Medicine It is without doubt the finest publication of its kind. The manual addresses the principles and practices of radiation protection for those nonspecialists whose work in research or the field of medicine requires the use of radiation sources. American Journal of Roentgenology

Descripci�n de la librer�a

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
