Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This book is a textbook on biomaterials science which also includes a liberal helping of philosophy and history of science with numerous references to literature, Greek myths, and art. ... The volume consists of 15 chapters and a series of appendices containing relevant physical, crystallographic, electrochemical, and solution data. ... In addition, each chapter includes some or all of the following: historical relevance, philosophical ideas, literary references, Greek mythology ... which may provide 'food for thought' for the current and next generation of biomaterials scientists."
