Review:

"...This new tome has exceeded all my expectations." "...Free Radicals in Biology and Medicine...has always been compulsive reading for all in this area of research whether undergraduate, postgraduate undertaking a PhD programme, clinician, or scientist and a veyr popular text for teachers and
students alike...The new volume not only continues this tradition, it is also a superb triumph of a textbook from two eminent leaders in the field and a must for anyone wanting to come to grips with the diverse area of free radical research and its relevance to biology and human disease, or for
experts to bring themselves up to date with the areas that they do not normally focus on." Prof. Catherine Rice-Evans, Guy's, King's and St. Thomas's School of Medicine and Dentistry

'this publication conforms the needs of all groups of readers. The 3rd edition of the famous textbook of bioradical science is a remarkable book. In comparison with the 1st Edition it is considerably altered, expanded (936 vs 543 Pages) and updated ... I am not uncritical in my sincere
admiration of this unusual book ... If you consider buying a book on reactive oxygen species, this is number one' Cell Biology International
