The book Radioisotopes - Applications in Physical Sciences is divided into three sections namely: Radioisotopes and Some Physical Aspects, Radioisotopes in Environment and Radioisotopes in Power System Space Applications. Section I contains nine chapters on radioisotopes and production and their various applications in some physical and chemical processes. In Section II, ten chapters on the applications of radioisotopes in environment have been added. The interesting articles related to soil, water, environmental dosimetry/tracer and composition analyzer etc. are worth reading. Section III has three chapters on the use of radioisotopes in power systems which generate electrical power by converting heat released from the nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes. The system has to be flown in space for space exploration and radioisotopes can be a good alteative for heat-to-electrical energy conversion. The reader will very much benefit from the chapters presented in this section.

Elsevier, Amsterdam, London, New York, 2004, 415 pp. - ISBN 0-08-044489-X During the last century, nuclear power has been established as a reliable source of energy in the major industrialised countries. It has a potentially important role in the future since it does not contribute to the production of 'Greenhouse' gases; a growing concern of continued fossil fuel power generation. The time is now appropriate to review the issues surrounding the...
