About this title

Synopsis

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.
