This first comprehensive overview of the modern aspects of biomineralization represents life and materials science at its best: Bioinspired pathways are the hot topics in many disciplines and this holds especially true for biomineralization.     Here, the editors -- all well-known members of associations and prestigious institutes -- have assembled an international team of renowned authors to provide first-hand research results.      From the contents:     VOLUME 1: BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND STRUCTURE FORMATION     Silica-Hydrated Polysilicondioxide     Iron Sulfides and Oxides     Calcium Carbonates and Sulfates     Calcium Phosphates          VOLUME 2: BIOMIMETIC AND BIOINSPIRED CHEMISTRY     Biometic Model Systems in Biomineralization     The Biomineral Approach to Bionics     Bio-inspired Materials Synthesis     Bio-supported Materials Chemistry     Protein Cages as Size-contrained Reaction Vessels     Encapsulation     Imaging of Internal Nanostructures of Biominerals           VOLUME 3: MEDICAL AND CLINICAL ASPECTS     Bone     Teeth     Pathological Calcifications           An interdisciplinary must-have account, for biochemists, bioinorganic chemists, lecturers in chemistry and biochemistry, materials scientists, biologists, and solid state physicists.          With forewords by Jeremy D. Pickett-Heaps, Stephen Mann, and Wolfgang Pompe.
