Mini Atlas of Biochemistry (Anshan Gold Standard Mini Atlas)

Over the next 2 years around 50 titles will be published, covering a comprehensive range of disciplines within medicine and health sciences.

In a handy 152mm x 122mm size, and between 250-350 pages, these pocket atlases will contain up-to-the-minute information on their subject, which has been compiled, distilled and updated from prior work by each author. Each mini-atlas will also contain a free CDROM or DVDROM with material to accompany and complement the text.

The 'Anshan Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series' will appeal to everyone involved in medicine and health sciences, from undergraduates to private practitioners, from medical professionals and academics.

The full series will develop into an outstanding resource for any medical library, and each individual title will be a great value-for-money addition to a personal collection, for use as a portable reference for work or home.

From the Preface

This Mini Atlas is a condensed version of the Textbook of Biochemistry for Medical Students. The original textbook is now running into its 5th edition, and entering the 12th year of its existence. With humility, we may state that the medical community of India has warmly received the original textbook. In retrospect, it gives immense satisfaction to note that the textbook served the students and faculty for more than a decade.

There was consistent demand from the students that a condensed version would be very useful for revision of the whole biochemistry; hence, this Atlas. Most of the figures, charts, tables and boxes of the textbook have been reproduced in this book with minor modifications. Exhaustive explanations are given, so that the reader will be able to grasp the important points without any difficulty. This book will give a quick reference to the essentials of Biochemistry, and will be very useful to recollect the basic facts.

We hope that the students and faculty members will find this Atlas useful. Now this is in your hands to judge.

End of all knowledge must be building of character
