Another Radiation Book Advocates Hormesis

I'm not surprised based on its title, "Understanding Radiation: A Common Sense Approach".  There's no such thing as common sense.  Following one's intuitions (which is what is meant by the term "common sense") frequently leads to the wrong conclusions.

The book was reviewed in the December, 2012 Health Physics Journal and the reviewer, Matt Grypp, was disappointed with it mostly due to the book's "advocating hormesis".

It's like the author is trying to be an American version of  Wade Allison (who has a book titled"Radiation and Reason", which also promotes hormesis).

Don't waste your money on either one.
