"This wonderful volume is highly recommended, as it is extremely well-written while concise, and containing well referenced chapters on the biological production or processing of molecular oxygen. Relevant bioinorganic synthetic chemistry is included, along with useful and/or important background and bigger picture evaluations or descriptions. ... should reside on the bookshelves of bioinorganic chemists (including myself) as well as those of biochemists and biophysicists interested in the diverse and interesting functions carried out by metal ions in biology." (Kenneth D. Karlin, Inorganica Chimica Acta, Vol. 451, September, 2016) "This is an interesting and timely volume in the long-running series 'Metal Ions in Life Sciences' ... . I can warmly recommend this book to affectionados of metals in biology-an absolute must ... ." (Robert R. Crichton, Transition Metal Chemistry, Vol. 41, 2016)
