The former owner's name is stamped on the bottom edge of the text block. The interior pages are clean, bright as new, and unmarked.Health Effects of Low Level Radiation by Sohei Kondo, affiliated with the Atomic Energy Research Institute at Kinki University in Japan, examines data from events such as the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl accidents, as well as studies on Japanese atomic bomb survivors. The book explores a new model of radiation carcinogenesis informed by recent discoveries about tumor-associated genes. Based on this analysis, the author argues that the health risks of low-level radiation exposure have been significantly exaggerated and suggests that such exposure may even have certain beneficial effects.The book will be carefully packaged for shipment to ensure protection from the elements.

The author is associated with the Atomic Energy Research Institute, Kinki University, Japan. He presents data from the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl accidents and Japanese atomic bomb survivors, and he reviews the new model of radiation carcinogenesis based on the latest information about tumor-associated genes. On the basis of this information, he concludes that the risk to human health associated with low-level radiation exposure has been grossly overstated and that, in fact, low-level exposure has some beneficial effects.

Store description
Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history.
I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
