Abstract
This book has found a place on many a library shelf since it was first published over 30 years ago. The seventh edition shows a small increase in overall length, while a glance through the contents section suggests the changes are very superficial. The author has contented himself with the title and kept to the fundamentals of his subject, starting the book with simplified mathematics at a junior-school level and progressing slowly through basic physics, electricity and magnetism. The second quarter, dealing with X rays and their production, is very adequate, biased heavily to diagnostic equipment, the only references to radiotherapy being developed out of a discussion on absorbed dose and a later section on radiation protection.
