“…this outstanding text deserves nothing but praise…The editors have brought together 57 authors, all of whom are at the very least extremely knowledgeable in their field, and, at best, are the unquestioned leaders… There is no topic related to biomaterials that is not covered somewhere in this book… The quality of the writing, the arrangement of information and the figures are all outstanding.”
