The author … has skillfully assembled a body of knowledge on preparedness and response to accidental and intentional radiological and nuclear incidents targeted at concerned citizens and early responders. … this book is a good contribution on the subject. It is a good resource for both perspective and plain-language explanations of sometimes complex subjects. I would recommend it to health physicists, emergency managers, and those involved with public communication.— George J. Vargo,Health Physics, June 2011I was very impressed with the book and would strongly recommend it … . The book is well written and places many very intimidating subjects in simple language. … I personally was particularly impressed with the author’s ability to communicate the risks associated with radiation in terms that are both expert and toned down to layman terms. … The book also contains a number of unique items, or perhaps little gems, such as insights not commonly found in the literature nor echoed in circles of health physicists. … In conclusion, I found the book to be well written and of high quality with a potentially wide audience who could substantially benefit from reading and using it.—Nuclear Technology,Vol. 171, August 2010Dr. Ansari efficiently presents a lot of valuable information in understandable terms. I found the book very useful and think it will be well received by non-scientists and professionals who need to know about radiation safety and nuclear-radiologic preparedness for their work.—Richard J. Martin, J.D.I found it to be a great resource … for the non-radiation expert.—Adela Salame-Alfie, Ph.D., New York State Department of Health... the best and most comprehensive treatment of this subject…informative and enjoyable to read…. This book will make a valuable addition to my reference library and, I would think, to yours as well. And to your physician’s, your neighbors’, your therapist’s, your hospital’s, your relatives’, and for anyone else who might have to deal with a radiological emergency or its aftermath. —Health Physics News
