'The field of 2D materials, which started with graphene, now includes dozens of one-atom thick crystals. Many of them demonstrate properties end effects which are equally exciting as those found for the famous ancestor. And, judging from the recent progress, the field will be developing very fast for many years ahead. This book, written by scientists who are the leaders in their fields, is the most comprehensive and up-to-date attempt to review this fast-developing subject. Starting with an in-depth summary on graphene, it moves to other 2D crystals, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorous and others, providing probably the most complete reference on the topic at the moment.'
