The lines between what were once discrete disciplines of science are increasingly blurred. Here practitioner and consultant Bevelacqua bridges the gap between health physics textbooks and the reference materials needed by practicing health physicists as he focuses on radiation-generating technologies. He considers both mature and emerging technologies as he describes fission and fusion energy (including power production) accelerators (including colliders and charged particle (including accelerators and light sources), and health physics in space (including manned planetary missions and deep space missions). In an extensive string of appendices he provides such materials as production equations in health physics, internal dosimetry, Muon characteristics, the special theory of relativity, computer codes, and curvature systematics in general relativity. The many exercises include solutions. Even with changes in technology, this is a career-long companion. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
