"It is an interesting and informative book with the expected emphasis on the philosophical side. Having enjoyed reading it, I recommend it to chemical libraries and to individuals with a taste for history and philosophy of chemistry."

"The volumes will certainly serve as a source for future history of the philosophy of chemistry, and, in particular, the history and philosophy of quantum chemistry."

"The work is as expected rather eloquently written by a leader in the field and successfully attempts to summarize the huge volume of work published over the last decades."

"The presentation is self-contained, and numerous examples and proofs are included."

"The book should be suitable for self-study, as a textbook for short CFD courses, and as a supplement to more comprehensive CFD and fluid dynamics texts."

"Both are highly entertaining and also informative, with well-developed characters and skillful building of tension. The book makes an excellent, stimulating and often provocative read."

"As medical costs continue to escalate internationally and technology offers more and more chances of prolonging the length of life — but not necessarily its quality — it is vital that we think more clearly and systematically about what can be justifiably described as ¡®medically futile¡¯. Dr Bagheri's edited volume is a major contribution to this highly topical subject, and one of its great strengths is its international scope, with scholarly contributors from a wide range of countries in Europe, the Americas, Australia and Asia. The book should become a standard text for all courses in healthcare ethics."

"This textbook is strong in its presentation of difficult concepts and in its unification of phenomenological description, coating technology, and characterization methods."

"It uses a narrative style of writing, making it enjoyable and easy to read. It refers regularly to subject material that is commonly asked in oral examinations and has a chapter dedicated to exam preparation. At a time of increasing subspecialisation and module based curriculum delivery, chapters on generic topics such as fluids and nutrition, pre- and post-operative management and trauma are welcome."

"This is one of the rare gems of the books called 'readable books', accessible books, or teaching books."

"The present work extends the stationary scattering approach to problems in dynamic quantum systems. It gives an excellent overview on the state in this field. The book is useful not only to students, but also to advanced researchers."

"This is an interesting book aimed at a scientific reader with some knowledge of biochemistry and physiology."

"Both are highly entertaining and also informative, with well-developed characters and skillful building of tension. The book makes an excellent, stimulating and often provocative read."

"One of the leading experts on terror in Southeast Asia, Maria Ressa has written a fascinating and important primer on the ties of family and loyalty that bind the region's Islamist networks. Rich with the personal histories of some of the region's most dangerous men and women, her account is framed by the gripping step-by-step drama of a kidnapping that brought terror to her doorstep in what she calls 'the most challenging ten days of my life'."

"It is an interesting and informative book with the expected emphasis on the philosophical side. Having enjoyed reading it, I recommend it to chemical libraries and to individuals with a taste for history and philosophy of chemistry."
