From the reviews:

It is an edited compilation of 17 chapters prepared by 20 contributing authors. There is good information available in the book. & It has perhaps greater utility as a guide for the setup and operation of a radioanalytical laboratory. & it is generally easy to read, is appropriately organized, and does add a new perspective to the existing instructional materials on radioanalytical chemistry. Overall, this is a useful book & . (Kenneth L. Nash, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 129 (33), 2007)
