Chemistry pervades our life. It moulds our climate, fuels our transport, gives food its taste and smell. Most of all, chemistry powers life itself.Chemistry for the Biosciences leads students through the essential concepts of chemistry that are central to understanding biological systems, using everyday examples and analogies to help them get to grips with the subject. With an emphasis on clear, straightforward explanations, it features biological examples throughout to illustrate just how integral chemistry is to the biosciences.With topics drawn from organic, physical and inorganic chemistry, students will encounter a broad range of essential concepts to master. Chemistry for the Biosciences includes many learning features - both in print and online - to help students grasp these concepts as quickly and thoroughly as possible. From the self-check questions throughout each chapter to help consolidate learning, to the Chemical Toolkits and Maths Tools that help students explore terminology, methods, and numerical skills that may be unfamiliar, the book is written to be a true course companion for students on biological and biomedical science degrees - one that will help them not only remember the essentials, but really understand them, setting students up for success in their later studies.This title is available as an eBook.

    Im doing a degree in biological and chemical science. Im not a fan of chemistry. This book is saving my life. It goes through all the chemistry in an easy to understand way. It relates what u are studying to its relation in biology. If you are studying at 3rd level and find chemistry tough going the get this book. You will not regret it.

    Only four chapters in for my Biological Sciences foundation degree.
    I was rubbish at Chemistry at school, but absolutely loved my Biology. Doing a Biology degree naturally involves quite a bit of Chemistry, so I was apprehensive about understanding the book and the concepts.
    So far, it's a brilliant and simply summary of Chemistry from a Biological point of view. The analogies and comparisons it makes between every day scenarios and examples are extremely useful when trying to remember the basics!

    I am studying Forensic Science, so I have a lot of chemistry. I am not very good at chemistry, but this book is just great. Topics are described very good and clear, so I can understand and learn very easily. It is divided into nice looking chapters. Clear and easy to read pictures, schemes or diagrams.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really detailed biochemistry book. From 0 to 100.

    Book arrived in great condition.
    It’s exactly what I needed for my biochemistry and metabolism module on the first year of uni. It explains every single detail starting from zero. You just need to have a basic knowledge and this book will help you become better! It even has exercises for you to practice. Couldn’t be more happier.
