Customer Reviews

Concise and informative

This is an excellent book, which is well-written and understandable. I am currently using it as a required text in a graduate course. It assumes that the reader has had previous courses in physiology and biochemistry, yet the authors give a concise definition of terms when warranted. I am going to keep this book rather than sell it because I think I will need it in the future.

Great for 1st years

This is a great resource for first year medical students who want to develop a good basic understanding of biochemistry in the clinical setting. I have been using this text/atlas a great deal as a good tool to get a quick idea of topics (which are actually written in quite good depth) and then to bring concepts together. If you like to learn through pictures and diagrams, then this is a must have!
