Editorial Reviews

Thirty chapters provide a handbook-like treatment of magnesium and its function in the environment, its bioinorganic chemistry, its role for plants and in animal and human nutrition, its biochemistry and physiology, and its relation to human health and disease. The last 20 years have seen a proliferation of knowledge about this ubiquitous element, and the interdisciplinary presentation made here should promote more progress as the field of "bioinorganic chemistry" gains momentum.
