Teaching manuals
Gibbins, A.M.V., and G.A. Robinson. Biological Applications of Radioactive Nuclides. A 128-page, detailed text for the Graduate Course,
#9806590, available through the University of Guelph Bookstore. Dr. Robinson and I compiled the first draft of this manual in 1989, and modified
it each year to its final form in 1992. There is no other comprehensive text available of its type, and we had made preliminary arrangements for its
publication by Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford. Dr. Robinson died unexpectedly in 1992; although the initial impetus to publish the book
came from me, I did not publish the manual because of the rapidly declining use of radionuclides at this juncture.
