Biological Inorganic Chemistry

摘要

I approached the review of this book with a healthy dose of skepticism,prompted by the somewhat pretentious claim on its back cover that it is "the long awaited text for 21st century courses in biological inorganic chemistry".The editors are undoubtedly preeminent researchers in bioinorganic chemistry,and three of them published a similar textbook(with S.J.Lip-pard)a few years ago(1),a cumulative experience that certainly bodes well for the preparation of a new authoritative title in this burgeoning field.
