From the reviews:

"This book covers a range of atomic and nuclear analytical methods ... . In summary this is an excellent undergraduate book for low energy applied physics applications. It is well written, very easy to read and should appeal to both the novice wanting to understand sufficient detail to able to apply these techniques and the expert looking for a concise but accurate summary of a broad range of common atomic and nuclear analytical methods. It is an excellent reference book for the field." (David Cohen, Australian Physics, Vol. 44 (4), 2007)

"This excellent book covers nondestructive analytical techniques based on atomic and nuclear physics. ... Additional coverage of sampling techniques via neutron activation analysis and accelerator mass spectrometry provides the researcher with valuable resources. For each nondestructive technique, the author provides the reader with concepts, theory and experiments with instrumentation. His target audience is research students."
