5.0 out of 5 stars Radiation Sterilization Professional Must Have!, December 13, 2010

Lisa Foster "Plane reader" (Anaheim Hills, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Radiation Sterilization for Health Care Products: X-Ray, Gamma, and Electron Beam (Hardcover)

Barry Fairand, PhD., the author, can take a very complex topic and make it understandable for those without a PhD. in physics. A must have for beginners in Radiation Sterilization processing and for experienced individuals as a great reference text.
