Papers of the Nov. 1987 meeting on all aspects of the subject from
astrophysics to biophysics cosmochemistry and beyond. Topics included
the radiation environment, modelling, data bases, instrument
background and dosimetry. Given that the text is made from camera-
ready copies of authors' manuscripts, the book has been produced on a
leisurely schedule, during which an index was not prepared. A book of
enduring value, but printed on acidic paper. At such a price we
reckon the AIP could do much better.
