John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York (1977). 423 pp + appendixes Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York (1977). 630 pp. $32.00. and indexes. $19.95. In the Preface, the author of the book states "It is In the opinion of this reviewer, this is a very thorough, difficult to recommend a reference to which a student, authoritative, up-to-date, and well-presented treatment of faculty member, or practicing engineer can turn for a the subject of isotope geology. Its 21 chapters consist of unified overview of reactor safety. The objective of 5 introductory chapters (on radioactive decay and mass this text is to fill this void by providing a coherent treat­ spectrometry), 11 chapters on the principal methods of ment of the primary facets of reactor safety within a geological age dating (Rb/Sr, K/ Ar, U/Pb, Th/Pb, Re/Os, single volume of reasonable length. . .. Because the study Lu/Hf, and K/Ca methods and their various modifications), of reactor safety must necessarily cut across many and 5 chapters on light-element dating methods (hydrogen, scientific and engineering diSCiplines, it is impossible carbon, oxygen, and sulfur).
