Reviews
Montaigne writes engagingly... the book is a wonderful introduction to the field of biomedical engineering.
Featuring some of the most recognized names in bioengineering as well as up-and-comers... this is the fascinating story of a discipline only dreamed of by Mary Shelley.
College-level collections—and many a public library—will find it engrossing.
The writing is this book's strength because it makes technical developments accessible to the nonspecialist.
The book is well written and... it is easy to follow all the stories.
A pleasure to read. Writing this good is hard to find.
