This is a well-written book containing important up-to-date information pertaining to the fabrication, properties, and applications of hydroxyapatite coatings. I highly recommend this book to engineers and researchers working in the field, particularly graduate students. -Paul K. Chu, City University of Hong Kong Hydroxyapatile is indeed one of the important materials in biology, medical, and clinical studies. Of course, coating of this important material is a central issue in its application. This book nicely picks up important subjects in the corresponding field and comfortably organizes chapters with important contents. -Katsuhiko Ariga, NIMS International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), Japan
