5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book for beginners and advanced students, 14 Mar 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Biomaterials Science: An Introduction to Materials in Medicine (Paperback)

This is a well written book with something for just about everyone. There are parts geared directly to engineers, but issues like foreign body response are dealt with rigorously enough for the best bio geek. All classes of implantable devices are covered with a healthy dose of history to boot!

5.0 out of 5 stars A dry read, but very informative, 4 Oct 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Biomaterials Science: An Introduction to Materials in Medicine (Paperback)

It was a dry read, but it was chock full of information on biomaterials. It made me proud to be a biomedical engineering student.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the 1st edition, 28 Mar 2011

By jenski - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Biomaterials Science: An Introduction to Materials in Medicine (Paperback)

With the international edition sometimes it isn't clear which american edition it is, this is the 1st edition, and is missing A TON of stuff that is in later editions.
