Water

"This book offers refreshing new insights into a fundamental problem in biology at the beginning of the 21st century: ‘How does the intricate dance between macromolecules and water molecules control fundamentally important biological processes?’ Lacking basic theoretical understanding at the molecular level, we resort to empirical relationships with limited ability to predict future outcomes in biology, biotechnology, and medicine. The volume pushes the frontier using experimental insights gained from the most recent advances in technology to narrow the search."

~Dr. Gary Fullerton, University of Colorado Denver, USA

"This book courageously confronts the heart of natural science through water, clarifying this mysterious and attractive molecule’s role in life through a trans-disciplinary approach. It will no doubt be the first light of dawn for a new physiology and brain science."

~Dr. Hideaki Koizumi, Hitachi, Ltd., Japan

"The book confirms an immediate necessity of introduction of integral methods of biotesting into the state standards to control quality of the drinking water. It is without doubt of great interest and deserves positive appraisal. It is a book that appeals to a large public, including specialists in the area of biological chemistry, physiology, medicine, and physics."

~Dr. V. V. Goncharuk, Journal of Water Chemistry and Technology

The editors did a favor to the scientific, and in particular the water research community, by bringing together a varied collection of authors with strong and fascinating views on the various aspects of the relationship between this eccentric chemical and life. I believe that this book will be able to satisfy the curiosity of undergrads as well present an illuminating read for more seasoned researchers, making sure that water’s deep and essential connectedness with life remains unforgotten as we delve ever more deeply into the secrets of life.
