Reviews for Biophysics
"...quite useful...review thoroughly enjoyed reading...it would be quite satisfactory for an introductory course..." (Health Physics, Vol. 84, No. 5, May 2003) "...essential reading for anyone putting a biophysics course together...the book brings together essential material usually omitted from the undergraduate physics curriculum..." (American Journal of Physics, November 2003)
