Radiation Science, Environmental Physics & Nuclear Research
The Natural Radiation Environment, edited by John A. S. Adams and Wayne M. Lowder. Published in 1964 for William Marsh Rice University by the University of Chicago Press as part of the Rice University Semicentennial Publications. This substantial and historically important scientific volume contains 60 scholarly papers examining naturally occurring radiation, including uranium, thorium, potassium, cosmic radiation, environmental radioactivity, geological sources, measurement techniques, human exposure, and biological effects.
Produced from the pioneering International Symposium on the Natural Radiation Environment, this work helped establish a foundation for later research into background radiation and environmental monitoring. It remains a valuable reference for health physicists, nuclear scientists, geologists, environmental researchers, academic institutions, and collectors of vintage atomic-age scientific literature.
The hardcover remains in good vintage condition with a solid binding and clean, readable interior. The two-tone cloth covers show moderate shelf wear, rubbing, small marks, bumped extremities, and some fading to the gilt spine lettering. Page edges display expected age toning. No dust jacket is present. Please review the photographs for the exact copy and condition.
