Rezensionen

'This is a book that is destined to be a classic in biomaterials education. Written by leading bioengineers and scientists, it can serve not only as a textbook to support a semester-long undergraduate course, but also as an introduction to graduate-level classes. It is a well-written, comprehensive compendium of traditional and also modern knowledge on all aspects of biomaterials, and I am sure that both students and instructors will embrace it and use it widely.'
