Author Information

The editor has considerable experience and expertise to publish high volume books covering a wide range of chapters associated with the title of the books. Two good examples are the books (1) Diabetes: an old disease, a new insight and (2) Neurodegenerative diseases, both published by Springer. Chapter downloads of the Diabetes book during 2013 and 2014 have been 117, 280 and for the book on Neurodegenerative disease on March 13, 2012 there has been a total of 33,233 chapter downloads (later data not available). According to the publisher the second book was one of the top 25% most downloaded eBooks. The expectation is that this book on ultraviolet light will also catch the market and will be one of the best sellers of Springer publications. Attracting highly specialized and famous, in their field, scientists, their highly comprehensive inputs are the criteria that will attract readers as bees towards the flowers. Pooling up the chapter titles as wide and contributions of highly expertscientists and researchers are one of the key factors of the success of the books I am proposing.
