Review: Without an adequate supply of trace metals human life would cease; they regulate a vast array of essential physiological mechanisms with an unprecedented specificity and selectivity. This reference book begins by illustrating the roles that trace metals play in the human metabolism and describes the metal content of living things and the metal content of the human diet. It goes on to look at specific metals and their roles: iron, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, boron, vanadium and silicon and arsenic.
