Essential Biomaterials Science David Williams Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine

This groundbreaking single-authored textbook equips students with everything they need to know about biomaterials science, including essential background and theory, comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of existing biomaterials, and industry insights.

Contains extensive interweaved case studies, informative glossaries and engaging exercises. An indispensable resource for students of biomaterials science and engineering.

‘This is the long overdue single-author compendium students, scientists and clinicians were waiting for. Anyone expecting a dry scientific compilation will be pleasantly surprised by the wonderfully lively style in which Professor Williams takes the reader on an exciting journey into the world of modern biomaterials and the opportunities it offers to patients. In a field long plagued by self-sustained paradigms, wrong models, and wrong questions, this book boldly introduces each chapter on the basis of true clinical needs, taking the captivated reader into the deepest depths of materials science and biology and eventually leaving him in a position where his own understanding and judgment has undergone a quantum leap.’
