I am really enjoying this book, and the corresponding website as well. Things are laid out in an easy to understand way, or as easy as you can accomplish with the subject at hand! The reading gets you thinking and relating material to the real world and the lab. I am a biology major, so I am not as strong in the subject matter as the chemistry majors in the room, but I think I will do well in the class with this book to guide me.

About the Author
Charles M. Grisham received his B.S. in chemistry from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1969 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1973. Following a postdoctoral appointment at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, he became Professor of Chemistry at the University of Virginia, where he teaches biochemistry, introductory chemistry, and physical chemistry. He has authored numerous papers and review articles on active transport of sodium, potassium, and calcium in mammalian systems, on protein kinase C, and on the applications of NMR and EPR spectroscopy to the study of biological systems. His work has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America, the Research Corporation, the American Heart Association and the American Chemical Society. A member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Grisham held the Knapp Chair in Chemistry in 1999 at the University of San Diego; was Visiting Scientist at the Aarhus University Institute of Physiology, Aarhus, Denmark, for two years; and received a Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. Reginald H. Garrett was educated in the Baltimore city public schools and at the Johns Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in biology in 1968. Since that time, he has conducted research and taught biochemistry courses at the University of Virginia, where he is currently Professor of Biology. He is the author of numerous papers and review articles on biochemical, genetic, and molecular biological aspects of inorganic nitrogen metabolism. His early research focused on the pathway of nitrate assimilation in filamentous fungi. His investigations contributed substantially to our understanding of the enzymology, genetics, and regulation of this major pathway of biological nitrogen acquisition. More recently, he has collaborated in systems approaches to the metabolic basis of nutrition-related diseases. His research has been supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and private industry. A member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Garrett is a former Fulbright Scholar, was twice Visiting Scholar at the University of Cambridge, and was Invited Professor at the University of Toulouse, France.

2.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but not well written or organized
Verified PurchaseTwo Chapters in and I already see many typos. Furthermore, some might not be bothered by it, but I like seeing mL not ml. A minute difference, but after seeing it for so long seeing ml was a huge pet peeve from the beginning. Furthermore, the book starts using N with no explanation of what it is. Again another pet peeve. I'm used to seeing N for newtons not for acids and bases. Having never seen that it would have been helpful if at least a conversion was given. On about two occasions, the number of the question didn't match up with the actual question. Where the answer lied I couldn't figure it out. On another problem, if i remember correctly, the question asks to find how to compose a buffer of 1L, some concentration I can't remember, and I believe another variable. I check my answer and was off by a couple of units. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out that the reason the numbers didn't match up was because halfway through the problem the number given somehow went from 78 to 76. Granted I could have seen this sooner, but I find that if it is a solutions manual, i shouldn't have to be correcting it. I'm up to chapter 15 and there are a couple of other minor things wrong, but I think I've driven my point across by now.
Overall, If you're at a University, you'll need it. It definitely will help give you hints on how to get to the answer, but don't always trust it, seeing as there might be a typo. I'm bothered that the publisher doesn't seem to even try. 2 stars for charging such a high price for the lack of effort.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best
Verified PurchaseYou would be better off just purchasing the text book. The textbook explains concepts suffienctly and there was really no need to purchase the solutions manual for my class because we did not do any of the critical questions in the chapter.
