Synopsis

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.

Review:

"The strength of the text is that it is clear, concise, colorful and current! The Biochemical Connections are very good, the students like them a lot. I would describe this as the very best, if not the only, biochemistry textbook on the market for an introductory, non-majors biochemistry course."

"I'm especially impressed by the Biochemical Connections, Special Interest boxes; these are excellent, and a good idea. These and the sections on Techniques and the Chapter Overviews are first-rate."

"I would describe the text as a colorful, easy-to-read introductory text on biochemistry that provides nice connections between biochemistry and the real world."
