“… these volumes serve a useful purpose by making the lectures available for people who would like the lectures collected in separate volumes according to specialization. In addition, World Scientific makes them available at reasonable prices … This volume will be of interest to those practising biomedical sciences, chemistry, and biology and to anybody doing or interested in scientific research and in how science is made.”
