Reviews

“The best textbook to date…it is essential reading for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating field.”
-Science

“A splendid introduction to bioinorganic chemistry. The excellent illustrations complement their lucid and stimulating account of basic principles.”
-Lubert Stryer, Stanford

“Lippard and Berg’s book should be very useful at academic institutions offering coursework in bioinorganic chemistry. Their style of writing and the book’s format are perfect for that audience.”
-Science and Technology

“…an important contribution to the understanding of biochemical systems.”
-Cell Biochemistry and Function
