The cover shows the organization of phospholipids in water. The most important types of organized structures are depicted, namely micelles, vesicles, and “inverted micelles”, and, in the middle, a lamellar bilayer. The particular form in which the phospholipids aggregate depends on the chemical structure and physical parameters such as surface charge, temperature, and ionic character. Further details are reported by H. Eibl in his review on page 257 ff.
