>Another excellent text with historical and educational value was
>published by LANL just last year. The title is "Radiation Protection and
>the Human radiation Experiments", published as a part of the Los Alamos
>Science series (Number 23, 1995). The emphasis is on the plutonium work
>conducted at LASL/LANL in the early days, so it has interest from the
>historical perspective as well as providing insight into the basis for
>the metabolic models used with Pu. In addition, the first 40% of the
>book is an excellent primer on Radiation, Cancer, and Risk, covering in
>3 sections, (1)Ionizing Radiation, (2)Radiation, Cell Cycle and Cancer,
>and (3)Radiation and Risk: A Hard Look at the Data.

I understand that the available copies of this volume of the Los
Alamos Science series is near exhaustion.  This after an initial
printing of 10,000 copies and a second printing of 12,000 copies.

There have been suggestions that excerpts of this volume also be 
published in Health Physics or Radiation Research.  There is also 
precedent for at least one past volume in this series being published
commercially in addition to the initial free release.  Not sure at
this time how likely either of these options are.
