As a biologist currently employed as Group Product Manager in a leading pharma/biotech company (top 5 worldwide), I'm interested in progressive developments of nanotechnology applications to medicine.
As such, I purchased both volumes of Nanomedicine of R. Freitas.
The second volume presents itself as a tiny book, whose size could have easily been included in the volume 1. Since I paid each book $ 99, I ask myself whether it was so impossible making it of only one volume.
Deception grows when opening the book.
Half of it is a list of all references cited in the text.
Roughly 150 out of 330 pages are what effectively is involved in Nanomedicine biocompatibility.
Fortunately, the 150 pages left are worthwhile and interesting (and this deserves the 3 stars), but editorial politics is really upsetting.
