It is hard not to be excited about this book. It can be challenging to put biology, mathematics, the healing arts, and earth sciences together in a meaningful manner that yields useful exposure assessments, but Professor Nieuwenhuisjen's team has done just that with this second edition. . . This book is remarkable in terms of its clarity and completeness.
