What is Titanium in Medicine: Material Science, Surface Science, Engineering, Biological Responses and Medical Applications (Engineering Materials) about?

From the reviews: Titanium is a metal that is generally regarded as one of the most biocompatible metals available for clinical applications. As is the case with all novelties in medicine, research activity and clinical experience tend to dampen the initial euphoria that nearly always accompanies new developments. Titanium is no exception. Yet, it is an extremely valuable material and some exciting new developments are taking place such as the combination of titanium with a variety of elements to form new alloys with improved material characteristics for clinical application. "Titanium in Medicine" is a comprehensive collation of 28 chapters written by international experts that cover much more than the title may suggest.The book is divided into five parts: Introductory Survey, Metallurgy and Fabrication, Surface Engineering, Biological Performance and Medical Applications. A sixth section contains various appendices, figures and of particular use, a list of relevant websites. Considerable depth of coverage has been given to the material science of titanium and I was particularly attracted to a concise account of the techniques used to characterise the surface of biomaterials.
