Quack science
This book is a joke. It's replete with elementary statistical errors, obvious misrepresentations of data, selective use of data, and other egregious errors.

The book is written by a notorious quack who appears to be incompetent and confused. He's apparently unaware that correlation does not imply causation. He's also unaware of the need to correct for confouding factors. He commits statistical mistakes which would be easily avoided by almost anyone who has taken a few undergraduate courses about the topic.

The data found in the appendices do not support the claims of this book. The data provided do not support the claim that living within 100 miles of a reactor causes cancer.

This book reaches conclusions which are incompatible with well-established, serious science. Serious scientists of radiation epidemiology have investigated this topic, and have reached conclusions which are very different from those found in this book. This book doesn't mention the findings of real science, nor why its conclusions are discrepant with those findings.

The most frightening claim of this book is in the introduction. There, the author claims that he's served as an expert witness in civil court cases. If so, that fact is truly disturbing.

Very grateful for the data in this book.I understand why my mother and I got breast cancer that was not genetic.
I had no idea why I got my breast cancer at age 48, only 11 months after my mother died of breast cancer.She got hers at age 68.My tumor was not genetic. I spoke to the authors of this book and felt I had found the answer.This book documents that women who live within 100 miles of a nuclear plant have the greatest risk of dying of breast cancer.The government breast cancer mortality map lines up with the government nuclear map, all across the country.Now the CDC says the northeast has the highest incidence of pediatric cancer in the country.We have the greatest number of nuclear plants.Now we have 14 year old girls with breast cancer states the CT Tumor Registry.They also state that the 6 towns closest to the CT nuclear plant, Millstone, have the highest of 12 different cancers in the state.Have you noticed the increase in childhood cancers?This book is terribly important to help you realize the danger to our younger generations.This never happened to the older generations.Author Dr.Jay Gould did work for the Queen of England, as a statistician and Dr. Ernest Sternglass, as a medical physicist met with Einstein.Joseph Mangano is the epidemiologist that heads up the national baby tooth study, documenting the levels of Strontium-90 radioactive nuclear emsissions in baby teeth and the link to cancer. Stunning evidence in this book, to help you begin to protect your family.

TheReality Of Nuclear Power: Destructive of Public Health
After reading this book, I became a committed opponent of Nuclear Power. The authors perform an excellent service in alerting everyone to the hazards we are all faced by any amount of nuclear radiation. When this book is read along with Ralph Graeub's The Petkau Effect: Nuclear Radiation, People and Trees, the astonishing realization will strike the reader-there is no such thing as a 'safe level' of contamination from any radioactive material. A basic level of chemistry and statistics is also required in understanding this subject. Unless the reader has some basic knowledge of how matter is constructed-an understanding gleaned from Chemistry 101-then this topic can be mysterious and easily misunderstood. Although the authors do a good job on the statistics, they never approach the subject of the number of atoms that are contained in a given volume of material.

The basic idea in the background to this topic is fromphysical chemistry; one needs to grasp what is contained in the idea behind Avogadro's number: 6 x 10 to the 23rd power number of atoms are in one mole of a material. What this means is that counting downward to even millionths or billionths of a mole would still leave huge numbers of radioactive material: subtract 10 to the sixth for a million and that leaves 6 x 10 to 17th power! While this idea is explored by Gould, he probably did not have space from his editors to explain it fully. What the book does do is to give an excellent overview of the statistics-living near (within 100 miles) a nuclear power plant places women and children at great risk. The author conclusively proves that the high incidence of breast cancers in women and thyroid cancers in young children in these areas is linked to the fallout from these leaky devices that we call nuclear power plants.

it's delightful, it's delovely, it's denial
Notice the writer (singular, because I'm sure it's all the same person) of the three preceding one-star review opuses does not even identify himself.Does this person work hands-on in the nuke industry?We must have compassion for those who have been suckered into this cytogenic time-bomb of a career. They may be just as hilarious as Homer Simpson. For more information about how low-level radiation has likely affected myself and others who merely made the mistake of living near Los Alamos, see my review of 'Deadly Deceit' by J. Gould.

Reading the title I was sceptic....and now I know I was right!
Mr.Sternglass is the typical self-styled 'scientist' who fear radiation because he never studied it and he try to terrify others due to his monumental ignorance.
This 'work' is a crap....and wasting of your money.

Best book on HIV/AIDS
I was fortunate enough to take Dr. Stine's AIDS course during my undergrad.Dr. Stine combs through the literature and news on a daily basis in order to keep these annual AIDS Updates current and relevant.We used this book as a text; however, it doesn't read like a text.Dr. Stine has a passion for increasing public awareness of this pandemic.This book not only gives a great overview of AIDS biology, but covers the social aspects as well.Very well written.I highly recommend this book. ...

Product Description
This publication brings together research advances focused on the mechanisms of HIV cell infection, trophism, latency and pathogenesis. The studies elucidate some of the molecular mechanisms of the HIV infection process. Included is a review which presents new information on intracytoplasmic forms of HIC; a study demonstrating that peptides derived from the CD4-binding region of gp 120 may directly play a role in inhibiting the human immune response; and a report on the use of the rigid structure of a related compound, cyclodex-trin, as a starting point for the design of a second generation of HIV cell entry inhibitor molecules. Further studies demonstrate that CD4 can be a crucial part of the infection cycle of human macrophage cell lines and that viral genes outside the envelope region and nef region appear to play a role in HIV trophism. The molecular interactions between the HIV long terminal repeat (LTR) - which serves as the promoter region for all the HIV gene products and cellular transcription factors - are explored, as is the viral trophism of mononuclear phygobytes at the molecular level and viral trophism in hybrid B-cell/T-cell lines.The final paper provides a review of the relationship between HIV infection of monocyte/macrophage and cytokine production as major influences contributing to the pathogenesis of the disease. ...
