Critical assessment This book is written by different
experts with different backgrounds, which highlights the
interdisciplinarity of this field. The chapters are approximately
the same length and structure and are all of high
quality. References are cited extensively, which helps
interested readers to access more details about the contents
of each chapter. The book gives a good overview about
current developments but does not deal too much with
revolutionary or visionary aims. It simply shows and
presents the knowledge of leading experts in this field.
Readership recommendations This book can be recommended
for scientists, technical personnel and advanced
students wanting to improve their knowledge and to get an
overview of an interesting field. Marketing experts will also
get an impression regarding future biosensor developments.
Summary Biosensors for the 21st century gives a good
insight and overview of the field of biosensors and shows
the impact of Frieder Scheller in the world of biosensing.
