""This book presents a comprehensive panorama of the chemistry of oxidation of organic compounds by atmospheric oxygen, and of the properties of antioxidants, both in chemistry and in biology. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the various processes are discussed in great detail, and a large compilation of physicochemical data that are needed to predict the relative importance of the possible reaction paths is presented in the numerous tables. The inclusion of a CD containing a program by which enthalpies of reaction, activation energies, and rate constants can be calculated makes this task even easier."" -Gianfranco Pedulli, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Vol. 45, No. 29, August 2006 ""The book provides up-to-date information about the oxidation of different compounds, antioxidants, and biological oxidation…an excellent source of information not only to the students but also the persons involved in research and academia."" -Carbohydrate Polymers, 2006 ""…the authors have conveniently reproduced many figures and schemes directly from their original sources, all of which contribute to a clear visualization of the material covered...the substantial amount of information contained under one cover is definitely the most important asset of this book."" -Gerald B. Hammond, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 128, No. 13, 2006 Promo Copy
