JAMES E. MARTIN, PhD, CHP, is Associate Professor (Emeritus) at the University of Michigan where he has done research and teaching on environmental and public health aspects of radiation with an emphasis on radiation physics since 1982. He also served 25 years (1957-81) with the U.S. Public Health Service and Environmental Protection Agency, doing environmental assessments of radioactive materials and of protection standards. His doctorate is in Radiological Health. Professor Martin is certified in Health Physics by the American Board of Health Physics and has published over 40 peer-reviewed papers and numerous articles and reports. Advisory committee memberships include two National Academy of Science committees, the Science Advisory Board of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
"This revised and expanded second edition handbook can easily be used as a textbook for undergraduate nuclear engineering or health physics students." (Health Physics, February 2007) "Martin covers the field of nuclear physics and many of its applications very well...a good teaching tool." (CHOICE, January 2007) "This is a very good text on basic health physics." (Doody's Health Services) "...an excellent book. It contains a significant amount of valuable information and will serve as an excellent reference on the bookshelf of medical physicists." (Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Fall 2006)
