Written in accessible, nontechnical language, this work brings together hard-to-find practical information about protecting yourself, your family, and the community from accidental and intentional radiation emergencies. The book is organized to serve as a preparation guide and as a reference in a crisis, for emergency responders, hospital staff, public health professionals, and ordinary community members. Of special interest is a chapter on developing a family emergency plan. Part I explains basic facts about radiation, and Part II examines the health, environmental, and psychosocial effects of radiation. Part III covers family, community, and government responses. Each chapter includes examples of real-life situations from around the world. High-interest b&w photos and fact boxes on connections to culture, entertainment, and history keep readers interested. A glossary is included. The book is not intended to teach basic radiation science, but it can be used in a public health or general science curriculum to develop radiation awareness. Ansari is a health physicist affiliated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
