Book choices for laypersons?

["William P. N. Smith" <wpns@compusmiths.com>]

Many thanks to everyone who replied privately and on the list, this is a

very helpful group!



I'm downloading "Operational Health Physics Training" from

http://www.osti.gov/bridge/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=145829 because it

came highly reccomended, and the price is right.  8*)



I also found three different textbooks that were reccomended on Amazon:



Gollnick - Basic Radiation Protection Technology 4th Edition $95 4-6wks

Knoll - Radiation Detection and Measurement $171 2-3 days

Cember - Introduction to Health Physics $50 24 hours



While my first inclination was to get all three, that's a bit pricey.  The

Knoll seems to come highly reccomended and the Cember has a "new edition

marred by typos and awkward editing" review.  Any other thoughts or book

reccomendations?



Thanks again!
