Do you have an inquisitive child who wants to know how an x-ray work. Do you want to explain to youngster radiation treatment, carbon dating, or radon in the basement? This book explains radiation in factually correct terms that children from late elementary through middle school can understand. Additionally, each concept is illustrated with vivid images.
I wrote this book so that I could explain these concepts to my children, and I believe the children in your life will enjoy it too.
