Product description

Review

Difficult concepts are beautifully and uniquely covered with simple analogies to encourage understanding. The discoveries in biochemistry and molecular biology in the last few years have been very exciting and this book is one of the few texts able to convey this excitement with its unique style. (Lynn Rogers, The University of Adelaide, Australia)

I feel it is one of the best in its class in terms of depth and level for students on multidisciplinary biology and biomedical science courses. I also very much appreciate the increasing emphasis on human examples. (
Dr Alison Caswell, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK)

This is a well-written, accessible book, which should appeal to students during their first major encounter with biochemistry and molecular biology. Throughout the book, reference is made to health, disease and treatment, which should make the text more relevant and interesting to undergraduate students, especially those on medically-related courses. (
Dr Caroline Owen, Kingston University, UK)

I liked the last edition but it looks as if this will be better. I see an obvious attempt to identify areas which students find difficult and a willingness to take on approaches which help students learn. The book seem to me to be written with its target audience always in mind. I particularly liked the way in which fundamental biological principles are never forgotten. This made my reading of the chapters quite stimulating. (
Dr John Wright, University of East London, UK)

    I am studying a Biology and this was recommended specifically by lecturer.

    Very few other students on my module didn't buy this book. Not because they didn't want to but because it was in the library. Since I am not someone who can usually afford to buy every book on the reading list it was odd for me to buy this but I am happy I did. The book comprehensively covers topics of biochemistry and molecular biology to the depth of detail necessary at degree level. In fact I wish I had known of this book during my A-Levels to answer my questions about certain metabolic pathways then rather than now.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not always that easy to follow without a chemistry background
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2012

    I picked up this book after reading an A-level biology book. It started off good, but I found it to be a bit confusing at times. The book does expect some chemistry knowledge and while it does go over some of the basics in appendices, it is more like a recap then a thorough explanation. The use of English is also a little odd at times. Some sentences are long, rambling and lacking in punctuation; causing me to have to read over them several times before I understood what the authors were trying to convey. The book contains many diagrams and images that helped though. Overall I enjoyed reading the book, and found it covered many new and interesting things. I think it offers very good value for money.
