Books by Mark E. Byrnes

Presents the how-tos for designing and implementing cost effective and statistically defensible sampling and surveying programs in radiological environments. This book offers methods that can be used to support soil remediation, building decontamination and decommissioning, tank characterization, and drum characterization.

Government agencies have tended to attempt to project favorable public images of themselves as a method of building the public support they need to survive, all the more so in times of increasingly sophisticated communications and decreasingly available financial resources.

Focusing on nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, this book provides guidance on measures that should be taken to protect human lives from terrorist activities. It contains a historical summary of the development and use of these weapons and a discussion of the types of radiation and warfare agents that are available.
