From the reviews:
"The book consists of seven chapters that focus on the various functions of PtdIns. … summarises recent advances in the burgeoning field of inositol lipids and provides a snapshot of where the field stands in 2003. The field is moving rapidly but this volume will be a useful addition for many researchers who have only recently discovered that their favourite protein is regulated by PtdIns." (Shamshad Cockcroft, nature cell biology, Vol. 6 (6), June, 2004)
