„The two-volume set edited by Khokhlov covers the design and synthesis of copolymers that are capable of mimicking the behavior of biological macromolecules, such as peptides and proteins, in an aqueous solution. ...

The set is heavily weighted toward the theoretical side of CDSD, but it does contain sufficient experimental results for those in the physical and analytical areas of polymer chemistry. Overall, given the cost of this two-volume set, it is probably not of general interest to the entire polymer community; however, for scientists working in the areas of amphiphilic synthetic polymers, biomimetic approaches to polymers, and globular biopolymers, these volumes would be a great addition to their personal libraries....“
