This text is intended for the one-semester introductory biochemistry text for sophomore/junior level, non-biochemistry majors. Most students who use this book are biology, agriculture, technology, nursing, physics, geology, or nutrition majors. A beginning biology, general chemistry, and at least one semester of organic chemistry are assumed as preparation. Noted for their ability to demonstrate the connection between biochemistry and students' lives, authors Mary Campbell and Shawn Farrell draw students into the material with stellar coverage of the latest research. The standard-setting illustration program enhances students understanding. The flexible organization of the text can be changed to suit the needs of specific courses and students, depending on the instructor's preference.

About the Author:

Mary K. Campbell is professor emeritus of chemistry at Mount Holyoke College, where she taught biochemistry, general chemistry, and physical chemistry, as well as advised undergraduates working on biochemical research projects. Her avid interest in writing led to the publication of the first of many highly successful editions of this textbook. Originally from Philadelphia, Dr. Campbell received her Ph.D. from Indiana University and completed postdoctoral work in biophysical chemistry at Johns Hopkins University. Her area of interest includes researching the physical chemistry of biomolecules, specifically, spectroscopic studies of protein�-nucleic acid interactions.

Review:

"I haven�'t seen another book that does a better job for my target audience...concise and tenaciously logical exposition."

"The authors give interesting real-world examples...informative."

"The Biochemical Connections add meaning and substance to discussion in the text."

"The illustrations are great. They are clear, about the right size, and have the right amount of information on them. I am a visual learner and pictures are very important to me."

"For many years, I have looked for a biochemistry textbook that would satisfy the goals of a one-semester course. Campbell�'s book is the best yet, to satisfy the variegated needs of students taking my survey courses."
