Biomineralization: Progress in Biology, Molecular Biology and Application, 2nd, Completely Revised and Extended Edition |
| Editor: Edmund Baeuerlein (Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry, Martinsried, Germany) |
| Now over 50 % new contents. Incorporating the surprisingly rapid advances in this field since the publication of the successful first edition, this intensively updated and expanded new edition covers all the background as well as the latest results. Now organized according to the main biominerals, the book reflects the increasingly important biochemical aspects and medicinal applications, with four new chapters on biomineralization in mammals, including humans. The whole is rounded off with an entire chapter dedicated to modern methods, especially physical ones that have advanced the field over the last five years.
The international team of renowned authors, under the direction of a leading expert in the field, provide first-hand research results from their own relevant fields. The result is an interdisciplinary must-have account, designed for a broad community of researchers. From reviews of the first edition: "...The multidisciplinary nature of the book makes it of interest to a wide variety of readers. For the novice just entering the biomineralization field, or related areas of research (nanotechnology, material science, geology) there are excellent descriptions of the unique techniques used for studying the details of biomineralization in the organisms... For the active investigator there are some excellent recommendations for future research. The book, therefore, is of equal interest to geologists, crystallographers, bacteriologists, material scientists, geneticists, and structural biologists..." —Adele L. Boskey, Hospital for Special Surgery, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York
