this multi-authored text on antifungals is both timely and well-conceived ... chapters combine modern fungal biology with insights from molecule biology to yield a valuable and instructive survey of this area ... this well-organized volume pulls together insights from molecular biology, fungal biology, and fungal genomics to give an excellent survey that would be especially useful to medicinal chemists, biologists, and those responsible for planning pre-clinical development programs. The authors are well chosen, represent leaders in their respective areas, and are clearly drawing from a very up-to-date understanding of fungal biology. In particular, the book's review of molecular approaches to target identification, target deconvolution, and mechanisms of resistance will be especially valuable to those working in this important area. from ChemMedChem (2015) 10: 1273-1274. This book provides a valuable background to the different approaches now becoming available. Twenty-nine authors drawn from 11 countries have combined to produce this timely and scholarly overview ... The topics covered are wide-ranging ... The book is well presented with informative, often coloured, explanatory diagrams, and an index which includes all mentions of particular compounds. The editors are to be congratulated on the selection of topics and contributors to produce such an instructive volume in such a fast-moving and topical field. from IMA Fungus (2015) 6: 28 This book is a comprehensive and current assessment of antifungal drugs with a prominent emphasis on antifungal drug resistance and drug discovery ... the book focuses on recent advances in deciphering the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance ... This book will be extremely valuable to practitioners in medical mycology, including established and new researchers, clinicians and clinical microbiologists, and infectious disease specialists seeking a rapid update on the current state of antifungal drug resistance and antifungal development. from Clinical Infectious Diseases (2015) 61: 1213-1214. Reading this book was a real adventure, as the monograph brings new knowledge about an alarming problem of increasing fungal resistance and available antifungal therapy ... a valuable text for experts in the field of antifungal research. Each chapter is carefully written and easy to understand ... this well-written and presented work is highly useful for both fields of fungal research and should be read not only by scientists working in field of fungal resistance but also by experts in clinical field. from Gen. Physiol. Biophy. (2015) 34: 453-454. scientists working in the mycology field and industry scientists developing new antimicrobials will find this compilation very useful. Infectious disease physicians treating patients with fungal diseases will find this book enlightening ... This is an excellent addition to the personal or institutional library of those working in the field of mycology, antimicrobial drug development, or infectious diseases. It brings together in one publication, a compilation of papers from leading experts in fungal biology and the genetic and molecular basis of antifungal resistance. from Doodys provides a valuable background ... informative, coloured and detailed diagrams ... should be available in all research laboratories dealing with mycology, community and university libraries. from Fungal Diversity
