The most thorough coverage of biophysics available, in a handy, easy-to-read volume, perfect as a reference for experienced engineers or as a textbook for the novice.

Following up on his first book, Fundamentals of Biophysics, the author, a well-known scientist in this area, builds on that foundation by offering the biologist or scientist an advanced, comprehensive coverage of biophysics. Structuring the book into four major parts, he thoroughly covers the biophysics of complex systems, such as the kinetics and thermodynamic processes of biological systems, in the first part. The second part is dedicated to molecular biophysics, such as biopolymers and proteins, and the third part is on the biophysics of membrane processes. The final part is on photobiological processes.

This ambitious work is a must-have for the veteran biologist, scientist, or chemist working in this field, and for the novice or student, who is interested in learning about biophysics. It is an emerging field, becoming increasingly more important, the more we learn about and develop the science. No library on biophysics is complete without this text and its precursor, both available from Wiley-Scrivener.

This outstanding new volume:

• Presents a thorough and in-depth coverage of the fundamental theory and practical applications of biophysics, providing the most up-to-date research available
• Is structured into four parts, covering the four major areas in biophysics
• Covers new and emerging topics in biophysics, including more advanced topics
• Is written by one of the world's foremost authorities on the topic, and is the best textbook available, following up on his first book on the fundamentals of biophysics, available from Wiley-Scrivener
