Dr. Meyers earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of California Los Angeles, was a post-doctoral fellow at California Institute of Technology and manager of chemical processes for TRW Inc. He has published in Science, written or edited 12 scientific books and his research has been reviewed in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. He is one of the most prolific science editors in the world having originated, organized and served as Editor-in-Chief of three editions of the Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology, the Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry and two editions of the present Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine.
There are excellent reviews for the 1st ed. Encyclopedia for Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine, which will serve as a model for the new edition with respect to aims, structure, and contents: "...an authoritative reference source of the highest quality... It is extremely well written and well illustrated..." (American Reference Books Annual (Library & Information Science Annual) "This series can be recommended without hesitation to a broad readership including students and qualified researchers...articles...set-up facilitates easy reading and rapid understanding...overwhelming amount of valuable data." (Molecular Biology Reports) "...highly valuable and recommendable both for libraries and for laboratory use." (FEBS Letters) "This series is a classic..." (Molecular Medicine Today (Trends in Molecular Medicine))
