Sigel, in close cooperation with John Wiley \u0026amp; Sons, launch a new Series “Metal Ions in Life Sciences”. The philosophy of the Series is based on the one successfully applied to a previous series published by another publisher, but the move from “biological systems” to “life sciences” will open the aims and scope and allow for the publication of books touching on the interface between chemistry, biology, pharmacology, biochemistry and medicine.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 2\u003c\/b\u003e focuses on the vibrant research area concerning nickel as well as its complexes and their role in Nature.
