Jacob's Plan
Jacob Morais is just a normal kind of guy. He enjoys his life and wouldn't change a thing. That is, not until a dangerous buffoon lumbers into the White House blatantly unfit for office, promoting chaos. Foreseeing wide scale disaster, Jacob stores emergency supplies in his basement, buys a gun, and secures fake ID in case he needs to disappear. Meanwhile back in his day-to-day world he is recruited by an old friend to join her fast-growing e-commerce start-up. When he discovers that sketchy investors are using the start-up as a front, Jacob stays in the company to help his friend expose the investors' nefarious scheme, which puts his life at significant risk. It's not the collapse of public order for which he prepared, but for Jacob it has the same imperative: Do what you must to survive.

Radiation Protection
This highly successful manual has served for nearly three decades as the definitive guide to the safe use of radioactive materials. Completely revised and updated, the fourth edition presents a new dimension by adding coverage of nonionizing radiation, and is thus concerned with the entire field of radiation protection. The author takes the novel approach of introducing the whole range of energies possessed by particles and electromagnetic waves at the beginning of the text, thus integrating coverage of ionizing and nonionizing radiation rather than considering them as two separate disciplines. He goes on to cover the entire spectrum of radiation sources, including radionuclides, x-ray machines, accelerators, nuclear reactors, power lines, microwave towers, and cellular phones. With its expanded coverage, including a broader focus on public health issues, this new volume will serve as an important training and reference resource, not only for research scientists, physicians, and engineers, but for regulatory officials, attorneys, engineers, and environmental health and safety professionals. The breadth of citations alone makes this resource invaluable.
