This author was a post WW2 nuclear physicist that started out with the Manhattan Project.

An interesting and informative, if slightly dated book on the hazards of widespread overuse and misuse of radiation: medical, civilian, military and industrial. While some of the information is speculative or simply wrong (e.g., the book claims humans have 48 chromosomes rather than 46), this book does a good job highlighting the risks and concerns associated with radiation exposure. Those concerns are still, and perhaps even more relevant today.
Although published in the 1960s These Science Library book are so informative and welll written: especially this one on Matter.
