The resulting combination proves to be the defining reference work in the field of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, and a lot of chemistry libraries around the world have access to the online version. Many readers, however, prefer to have more concise thematic volumes in print, targeted to their specific area of interest. This feedback from EIBC readers has encouraged the Editors to plan a series of EIBC Books [formerly called EIC Books], focusing on topics of current interest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEIBC Books will appear on a regular basis, will be edited by the EIBC Editors and specialist Guest Editors, and will feature articles from leading scholars in their fields. EIBC Books aim to provide both the starting research student and the confirmed research worker with a critical distillation of the leading concepts in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, and provide a structured entry into the fields covered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHave the content of this Volume and the complete contents of the\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e at your fingertips!
