"The text is easy and enjoyable to read and clearly laid out ... the book is a useful addition to the general medical physics texts and would be suitable for most departmental libraries." SCOPE, 2000 "It is a splendid follow-up read after studying the more formal presentations in A-level textbooks ... To any student studying modules on Medical Physics, this text will augment the scene, and will provide inspiration to those considering a Hospital Physics career." Physics Education, 2000 "This book by Angela Newing is a fascinating introduction to the history of medical physics and to its modern developments. It is written in an accessible style, and no prior knowledge of either physics or medicine is required ... at GBP20 the cost is modest. Do buy it." The British Journal of Radiology, 2001
