This is supposed to be an overview of rad therapy, and it definitely does the job. As it should, it doesn't go into great depth on any one topic. It's broken down into an intro, physics and practical applications. But I did wish the authors spend more time on treatment planning, and perhaps less so on the basics like mathematics, which I would hope most students are proficient in. Because this book is a collection of chapters written by diff authors, the text can get incohesive or repetitive at times. And there are chapters that are written in a convoluted style like pathology. Likewise, I didn't find the physics section particularly cohesive. However, the book does make its money on the practical applications section.
GREAT reference you will use for the rest of your career.
