Editorial Reviews

Review
Reviews of the second edition:

The book fully meets the authors objectives, it is well written in a logical, objective, thought-provoking and quite easily readable style. It should appeal to the serious student of radio- and nuclear chemistry at either undergraduate or postgraduate level, as well as to readers with a more general interest in nuclear science and its impact on the environment.
Applied Radiation and Isotopes, July 1995

This book is an excellent, readable account of a significant part of the scientific achievements of more than half this century. The authors have dedicated the book to Nobel Laureate Glenn T. Seaborg and its scholarship makes it a fitting tribute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry, December 18, 2004

By	Larry A. Burchfield - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is well written in a very readable style. It is logical in its approach and covers a wide variety of topics within the nuclear sciences. It should appeal to the serious scholar of radiochemistry at both the undergraduate or postgraduate level. It is also worthy of note that the authors have dedicated the book to Nobel Laureate Glenn T. Seaborg.

The new edition of a well-known, respected text in the specialized field of nuclear chemistry includes an interactive website with testing and evaluation modules based on exercises in the book.

Although the text does not cover practical radiometric separations in great detail, it does provide the reader with a strong overview of this important field of science.
