"In this timely publication, Que leads a team of notable international experts in bioinorganic physical techniques to produce a well-organized, information-rich book with chapters that are enjoyable to read…this book is a must!" --Journal of Chemical Education "This book is an excellent compilation of chapters…While there are other notable books available on physical methodologies for inorganic chemistry, this is the first such introductory level book to focus on the wide range of problems unique to biological applications. This book will be useful as a text in a course for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students." --J. Am. Chem. Soc.
