This textbook combines a thorough coverage of radiation interactions and their biological effects. Dr. Alpen is a noted expert in radiation biology and this book reflects his experience serving on numerous scientific advisory groups. The book presents the basic physics of radiation interactions including a discussion of radiation chemistry (which usually is not treated this well in most radiobiology texts). Biological effects ranging from the cellular level to populations of organisms and from high-dose acute exposure to low-level chronic exposure are well covered. Both experimental results and model predictions are considered. This book is highly recommended as a text for a graduate course in radiation biology.
