"It is a very handy introductory book on the dialogue between biology and nanotechnologies that can be very useful both to a novice and to a seasoned nanoscientist. The former will be very directly and profitably introduced to the main principles, achievements, and current trends in both research and applications of bionanotechnology. The latter can use this book as a receptacle into which his or her fund of knowledge can be fed and organized within a very schematic and well-articulated framework -- one that can be easily expanded and updated."Angewandte Chemie International Edition
