Customer Reviews:
VALUABLE IRRITANT..........2006-08-07
Physics for Radiation Protection by James E. Martin is a valuable yet irritating book. Only the chapters about detector operation and counting statistics are truly professional. In the earlier part of the book, there is a vry characteristic lack of rigour. Almost every sentence, every paragraph is badly worded and lacks rigour. This book is the product of our modern culture whre people sit in front of PCs the entire day, and type manuscripts direcly on PC. A well-versed theoretical physicist will cringe when reading most of this book. However, despite simplistic science, bad formulations and dispassionate grammar, the book holds significant utilitarian value -- it can really be quite useful for practicing, practical, non-academic radiation protection staff. Bypassing the regular physics courses and substituting this shortcut into physics for RP learners, resulted in this book: Terrible academic physics, but still useful for the practical science of Radiation Protection.
An invaluable contribution.......2000-08-02
James Martin has produced a work that all members of the health physics community will find invaluable. Students, instructors and practicing radiation protection professionals will find this book useful. It covers, in a clear and concise manner, all of the important radiation physics topics that comprise the foundation of radiation protection. Whether used as a teaching tool or as a reference, this book fills a void in the literature that has long existed. I wish this work were available when I was receiving my radiation protection training.
As the RSO of a major ophthalmic pharmaceutical research and development company, I will apply the information in this book to both radiation safety operations and to radiation safety training for our users.
My congratulations to James Martin for publishing this book. I highly recommend it to all in the radiation protection field.

Customer Reviews:
Perfect Shape.......2007-09-17
Was a little nervous about purchasing a book online but it came back in perfect shape and was exactly what i was looking for. Looks the same as buying it in the campus bookstore but at a savings of about 45$!
Good Resource.......2006-03-15
This book has been a good resource in my program. It was originally supposed to be the testbook for our radiographic physics and equipment class but I haven't used it very much in that regard. Only about 1/4-1/3 of the book covers this topic. Overall, it is a good resource because it covers many areas within radiography.
Radiology Physics Workbook.......2006-02-21
Overall, I thought this workbook to be very helpful. While not all of the information in the workbook was covered or required for the classroom, an understanding of all of the chapter material aided in increasing test scores. Be wary of the answer keys in the back; not all are correct. I found that at least one question in a set had a wrong answer listed in the key. Look up the answer in the text instead of relying on the keys; you will also gain more information this way helping to increase your test scores.
Hits the mark..........2006-01-13
This book is very good in accurately and easily describing the x-ray system, fluoroscopy, radiologic physics, artifacts, and digital x-ray imaging. This book greatly helped me in school and served as an outstanding study reference for the ARRT exam. This book ranks high along with "The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers",Volumes 1 and 2 by Patrick Leonardi. These volumes had tons of pertinent questions/answers for ARRT prep. "Radiologic Science for Technologists: Physics, Biology and Protection" by Stewart C. Bushong will also continue to serve as a reference for years to come.
FIBC Educational Tool.......2001-04-17
I found the textbook to most helpful as I prepared for my coursework and professional exams. The examples are thorough and the illustrations are creative. The supporting workbook was key to my successful completion of the course. If this is your topic, this is the book for you.
Book Description
The instructional part of the program was designed and developed with the lecture setting in mind. The visuals and audio present new information and encourage learner involvement and interaction with the material. Each unit closes with a review/self-test section, which shows selected visuals from earlier in the program, giving the teacher the opportunity to pose questions and help students evaluate their own learning. The tutorial portion presents the same content as the instructional program but offers opportunities for review, reinforcement, and self-testing. The tutorial has stated learning objectives and a multiple choice exam at the end of each module. The tutorials are interactive and visually appealing and give the student control over the pacing of the information with options such as backing up to review material or requesting more information on a given topic. Each module includes an interactive self-test, review, and exam. The testing function has the capacity to record each student's answers to be accessed later by the instructor. CD software has been programmed for maximum flexibility and ease of use and does not require advanced knowledge of computers. Full-color visuals, available as slides or CDs, include full-color line art and photographs, radiographs, and occasional text screens to reinforce content. The CD-ROM version includes animations. CD program is interlaced with interactive components throughout the tutorial to enhance learning of difficult subject matter and allow students to learn at their own pace, review as needed, and assess their progress using self-tests provided within the program. Both the CD-ROM set and the Slide and Audiotape set come with a detailed instructor's manual with additional test questions and the complete narration of the program in text form. A student Study Guide provides activities to reinforce learning and enhance retention. Program will run on PC or Mac and can be displayed in 1024x768 or 640x480 resolution.
