Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences, Vol. 4: Nanodevices for the Life Sciences (Kumar, C.S.S.R.; 2006) [Book review]

This book is intended to describe natural and engineered nanodevices from the broad perspectives of mathematical modeling, fabrication, function, and application. This text is written by more than 40 authors with a wide range of expertise. The authors assume that the readers are familiar with basic concepts and terminologies of mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. The book is organized across several disciplines, and the chapters are written at a level that this reviewer would suggest as a reference text for graduate students, researchers, and scientists who are interested in nanodevices and their applications in life science. The book is overly broad and too intense for most undergraduates.
