From the reviews:

The five chapters of Biomineralization, volume 1, provide a bridge between the mineralogy and the organic substrates that enable the mineral formation by organisms in nature and under laboratory conditions. & The book is a most useful reference for all concerned with biomineralization and biogenic minerals, and it also belongs on the shelves of earth science libraries. (Abraham Lerman, The Journal of Geology, March, 2008)

Series presents critical reviews of the present position and future trends in modern chemical research

Short and concise reports on chemistry, each written by the world renowned experts

Still valid and useful after 5 or 10 years
