"The editors separate the field into three sections-physics, chemistry, and biology/medicine-with an in-depth introduction to each part, followed by a few more detailed chapters on respective applications. ... Overall, a very valuable resource based on the appropriate level of detail, organization, general cohesiveness, and inclusion of peripheral topics (to scientists at least) that should be studied and considered more often. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All library collections." (N. M. Fahrenkopf, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)
