1: Concise description of a vast field
This book is a master piece by the author who accumulated 50 years of experience in phosphorus chemistry. That experience may have enabled the effctive and clear description of such a vast field within 400 pages.
The author gave a large number of reviews and original references for further reading. Listed are the pertinent synthesized structures described in Organic Synthesis and Inorganic Synthesis. These two features render the book valuable in practical use. Given the fact that phosphorus chemistry is so deeply rooted in life science, practitioners in biotechnology should find the book a helpful hand, particularly in the organic chemistry and biochemistry of nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acids, phospholipids, phosphatases, etc.
It can also serve well as a text book for graduate students.
