From the reviews: "This book, part of the Nutrition and Health series, is a collection of articles on the metabolism of iron. ... While this is billed as a book for professionals, the articles are fairly research-oriented, making it better suited for those involved in research ... . A highly diverse mix of researchers and hematologists author the articles. ... This will be of interest to a select group, but those with interest will find the time spent very worthwhile."
