Reviews

"In his ambitious undertaking, Munn provides a very readable and current review of this dynamic field.... Chapters are nicely organized with an introductory paragraph followed by a key concept summary, excellent figures and images, clear tables, and interspersed throughout are interesting facts and important questions highlighted in boxes along margins as well as an occasional research focus box.... Munn explains complex processes and concepts with great clarity and precision.”
