Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The book describes the importance and impact of a number of elements, other than carbon, in biological chemistry. There is a short background describing the interaction of inorganic molecules, especially metal ions, with biomolecules. The major part of the book contains a survey of biologically important elements and includes briefly the roles played in such varied species as humans, crocodiles, chickens, fish, beetles and plants and in diseases such as cystic fibrosis, methemoglobemia and thalassemia.
MoreLong description:
Providing a good starting survey of the field, this book emphasizes the importance of inorganic chemistry in biological systems. The basic background of the interactions of atoms, molecules and especially metal ions, with biomolecules covers about a quarter of the book. The remainder discusses the biologically important elements, and their occurrence and functions in biomaterials - these are illustrated by certain roles in humans, fishes, beetles, and plants and in varied human diseases, such as cystic fibrosis methemoglobemia, and thalassemia. This upper level undergraduate textbook for students of chemistry and biology is the only current short book covering, briefly, most areas of bioinorganic chemistry.
Wilkins and his wife Pat have produced a readable introduction to the topic of inorganic chemistry in biology. It is bang up to date and is an excellent introduction to the area for students.
