Clinical Radiobiology. By W. Duncan and A. H. W. Nias, pp. 221, 1977 (Edinburgh; Churchill Livingstone), £9·50.

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

This 220-page hard backed book is written expressly to cover the syllabus of the Part 1 F.R.C.R. examination in radiobiology. It is thus directed towards the young radiotherapist and, as such, is pitched at a practical clinical level. The fifteen chapters cover the standard radiobiological approaches to the cell cycle, survival curves, recovery from radiation damage and the early and late effects of irradiation. References are appended to each chapter and a list of suggestions for further reading.
