The Handbook of Nanomedicine is an informative account of the current state of nanomedicine, combining descriptions of emerging technologies with examples of their utility. Now in its second edition, Kewal K Jain has thoroughly updated its content to reflect novel advances in the field. As this book was written by a lone author, it maintains a singular focus throughout, a highly advantageous facet not typically seen in similar publications. Topics range from an introduction to nanotechnologies to applications in specific fields, including oncology, cardiology and neurology. Overall, The Handbook of Nanomedicine (2nd Edition) was designed in such a manner that it could be easily read by anyone interested in the subject, with specific references selected to provide further, more detailed insight into specific topics.
