"The intended audience is young physicians who should learn the scientific foundations of personalization, as well as current practitioners who wish to access recent information. As with many multiauthored specialized books, this one is best thought of as a series of reviews of selected topics. Thus, some topics will be of value to junior physicians and others to more senior ones. The authors are all highly credible authorities from either Japan or the U.S." (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2016)
