"In summary, New Synthetic Methods is well-referenced and well-written with comprehensive descriptions of the four subject areas presented. Not only is the book suitable for the polymer scientist but it also provides suitable background reading to chemists of all disciplines."A. Blencowe and W. HayesFrom: Polymer International Society of Chemical Industry, Vol. 54, p. 614-615 (2005)From the reviews:"...This text provides an excellent introduction to each of the discussed topics as well as providing an up-to-date review of the current bodies of work while highlighting areas that still require research for those who are working within the field."
