CUSTOMER REVIEWS
“This is a very complete particle physics textbook. Nuclear Medicine physics and radiation oncology have an entire volume devoted in this discussion background text. … This encyclopedia and principle resource should help nuclear physics specialists.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2015)
From the reviews of the 1st Edition:
"…[the Editors] have displayed a comprehensive vision… far more exhaustive than any of the existing books on nuclear chemistry and/or radiochemistry. … an impressive and fascinating work… the clear arrangement of the various topics, extensive indexes in each volume, a short summary at the start of each chapter, in most chapters the use of bold characters in the text when introducing a new concept, facilitate its use as a reference work. … appendices on units, physical constants, nuclear and atomic data, and reference materials enhance the usefulness… indispensable for students and researchers in the nuclear field at large. In addition, it is also useful for scientists from the disciplines of biology, medicine, physics, and chemistry, showing the wealth of nuclear and radiochemical methods to solve their problems and to achieve progress in their fields. "...The editors have chosen the title by the consideration that 'nuclear chemistry' and
"…No similar complete opera has ever been available on the editorial market. …of relevance for scientists dealing with radiation physics and chemistry, materials sciences, applied nuclear physics, biophysics, radiobiology, radiopharmaceutical chemistry, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, environmental sciences, and all fields in which the powerful energy of the atomic nucleus is required and advantageously utilized. … clearly written and completed with essential and updated specialized bibliography."
