"The present book ... presents an excellent collection of chapters outlining new developments in the area from the point of view of materials science. ... The editor succeeded in amalgamating the contributions of different authors in a coherent book that has actually become an 'encyclopedia' of biofunctionalized nanomaterials. This book is the first volume in a comprehensive ten volume series on 'Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences', which is going to be an encyclopedic database for bionanotechnology and bionanomedicine. ... an excellent collection of the material under a single cover that is certainly convenient for the reader. ... Overall, the editor and authors have done a good job, resulting in a book that can be read with interest by the broad scientific community. This book deserves a respected place on the desk of a student, professor, or engineer, who will equally benefit from reading its content." small
