Lehrbuch und Tabellenwerk zugleich: Ausgehend von der Atomstruktur und den physikalischen Mechanismen der Wechselwirkung zwischen ionisierender Strahlung und Materie erklärt Ihnen der Autor alles, was Sie über den Strahlenschutz in der Praxis wissen müssen, insbesondere den Nachweis von Strahlung, die Messung der Strahlungsdosis sowie die Auswertung und Interpretation statistischer Daten. Methoden zum Schutz von Mensch und Umwelt werden ausführlich anhand realitätsnaher Beispiele dargestellt. Diese überarbeitete, stark erweiterte dritte Auflage berücksichtigt unter anderem auch die neuesten ICRP- und NRCP-Empfehlungen. Eine Fülle von durchgerechneten Aufgaben und Übungsaufgaben (zum Teil mit Lösungen) erleichtert Studium und Selbststudium. Mit umfangreichen Diagrammen, Tabellen und viel Datenmaterial!

"What can I say? The second edition of 'Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection' is much better than the first edition, and the first edition was great. [...] It is [...] one of the finest graduate-level texts on radiation protection. For someone teaching a graduate course on radiation protection, this is a 'must have' book. [...] Everything you might want or need on the road to understanding radiation interaction is clearly and concisely handled. [...] Don't think this is a book for graduate students and teachers alone, however; it is a fine reference for anyone working in radiation protection."
Physics Today
"The strength of the book lies in its unique analyses of fundamental particle track structure, including Monte Carlo computations, the detail of the important stochastical nature of the interactions, manifest in microdosimetry, and their consequences in radiobiological effects of setting up the criteria for radiation protection."
Radiation and Environmental Biophysics
"This book is an excellent text for graduate students in health physics, as it contains an appropriately detailed discussion about atomic and nuclear physics for such students. [...] Major strengths of the book are that it contains rigorous discussions about radioactive decay, interaction of radiation with matter, statistics of counting and methods for shielding calculations.
