"The earlier volumes of this series have long been regarded by chemists as classics of their type, providing accurate and reliable information compiled by one of the world's leading figures in the field. Detailed and authoritative reviews of the chemistry and characterisation of the naturally occuring quinones reported during the last 10 years are provided in this fourth volume which describes more than 900 new compounds."
"The first edition of this book appeared in 1984 and covered the literature until the end of 1982 (one chapter dealt with much of 1983). The present volume is based on the literature published since then until approximately mid-1992. As before, it attempts to highlight the most important advances in all the main areas of natural products research, focusing on structure, chemistry, synthesis, and this time, where appropriate, biosynthesis ..."
"This book should be of interest to organic and biological chemists in universities, professional research chemists in pharmaceutical and dye industries."

"Research in natural products has advanced tremendously through the fields of chemistry, life, food, and material sciences. Comparisons of natural products from microorganisms, lower eukaryotes, animals, higher plants and marine organisms are now well documented. Natural products are ubiquitous in our everyday lives. They are active constituents of many medicines, vitamins, food additives, flavours and fragrances, agrochemicals and pesti ..."
