Re: Radiation Biology Textbook

["Michael P. Grissom" <mikeg@SLAC.Stanford.EDU>]

A popular text over the years has been Eric J. Hall's
"Radiobiology for the Radiologist", which I believe is
in at least its second edition.  Eric's personal 
strength has been in demonstrating effects with cell 
cultures and other in vitro systems, but his book 
provides a nice review of the whole field.

I would tend to use Hall as a primary text with
Mettler and Hendee as a reference.  Some of the recent
CRC publications in Radbio could be of use, but are
IMHO far too expensive for any use other than
reference.
