RE: Book choices for laypersons?
The best, best, best book for scientifically literate laypersons is
"Introduction to Radiation Protection" by Martin and Harbison, Chapman and
Hall Medical; but all you US guys and gals, it's not going to say anything
about NRC rules, 'cos it's UK-based.

Subject: Book choices for laypersons?
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!
