The IAEA has just published a concise (80 pages) and accessible book entitled ‘Radiation, People and the Environment’. Full of illustrations, it is dedicated to introducing the reader to the theme of radiation and the different ways it affects our world, including its uses, potential dangers and how we can maximise safe usage.

The publication has its own website:
