    KEY SELLING POINTS
    * Cross disciplinary
    * High level, academically rigorous
    * A subject of growing importance

    THE BOOK
    Biophysics is the bridge between the physical and natural sciences. There is a direct correlation and equivalence
    between physical and medical/biological science. The aim of this book is to present all the topics that can be
    classified as essential to biophysics:- chemical bonding (quantum physics), cellular, molecular and membrane
    biophysics, biophysical chemistry of biomolecules, physiochemical techniques (spectroscopies, microscopies,
    NMR, X-Ray diffraction), bioenergetics, biomechanics, photo-chemo- and radiation biophysics, and bioinformatics.

    The contents are organised into 4 sections containing 18 sub-sections. An overview is given for each section that
    comprises several chapters with a common theme. Each chapter is summarised in advance with a handy
    synopsis to assist the reader's understanding. Further reading is suggested at the end of every chapter. And the
    appendices and glossary at the end of the book provide an easy access to the more technical concepts, phrases
    and terminology.

    "Essentials of Biophysics" can therefore by definition be used on a wide range of cross disciplinary science
    courses, and will also serve as a valuable reference work in physical and natural science libraries.
