Very Up To Date Report on Current Research 
It has been ten years since the first edition of this book. In that decade interest in telomeres has skyrocketed as a relation between telomeres and cancer has become more likely.
As is common with fields that are developing so rapidly, no 'standard' textbook has been written because it would become out of date so fast. Instead this book is a compendium of articles from researchers from around the world. Each of the articles has been peer reviewed and selected for this book by the editiors, each of whom is a pioneer in the field. The articles come from laboratories literally around the world, where ever the most important basic research is being conducted.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press is a very fast publisher. The basic material was finally collected for the book in July of 2005. By November of that year the book was in print. This means that the research being described is current to within half a year -- remarkably short timing for a published hardback book.
