| Zusammenfassung: | Forlagets beskrivelse: During the 19th Century, a common perception was that mankind basically knew the laws of nature, and little remained to be discovered. That view was bumped when, in 1895, Röntgen discovered x rays. Prominent scientists such as Becquerel, the Curies, Planck, Einstein, Rutherford, and Bohr soon added further findings.Early on, it became clear that radiation was both good and bad. Medical uses of radiation permitted vast progress, but careless use of the new tools entailed a risk of serious harm. This led to international collaboration on radiological protection. In the late 1930s, nuclear fission was demonstrated, corroborating Einstein's thesis that matter can be turned into energy.Pandora's Box, the first part of four in this popular science history, is an overview from the Ancient Greeks and their ideas about light, until just before World War II when scientists in several countries began to consider nuclear weapons. It is aimed at persons with a general interest in radiation and requires no previous knowledge.Professor Bo Lindell (1922-2016) had a degree in engineering physics and a PhD in radiation physics. Having worked closely with the radiation-protection pioneer Rolf Sievert, he took over as Director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Institute in 1965. He retired from that position in 1982 but remained an emeritus adviser until 2008. Lindell was Scientific Secretary and then Chairman of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the Swedish delegate to, and for a time Chairman of, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR).Lindell wrote this book series, his magnum opus, in Swedish. Aided by generous grants, the Nordic Society for Radiation Protection (NSFS) proudly presents this translation into English |
