Review “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“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.
