The content of Free Radicals in Biology and Medicine is as wide as
the horizon and as deep as the ocean: nobody can ever dream to
satisfactorily capture it in the limited space available for a book
review. The target audience that will undoubtedly profit from this
gigantic work is equally wide: biologists, biochemists, medical
doctors, nutritionists, therapists with a sound background. It
stands as an invaluable reference to be consulted without
moderation, although a deep understanding certainly requires
repeated reading and study.
