Textbook of Biochemistry with Clinical Correlations: 9780470281734: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com Review: Great book, disgraceful web site - I have hundreds of medical textbooks, and have yet to find a serious "supplements" web site, always touted as offering the student additional valuable learning material, but never living up to the promise. This is a terrific textbook, as were the previous editions, but the web site for Devlin's Biochemistry 7e is a complete farce. The instructions say to select a chapter from a dropdown menu, for which you receive links to a relevant set of additional materials. But every single chapter selection gives exactly the same set of three links: Animated Figures, Guided Explorations, and Interactive Exercises, and regardless of the chapter chosen, each of these three links contains exactly the same set of additional links. In other words, there is no differentiation whatsoever among the chapters, so I have to wonder: exactly what is the purpose of selecting a chapter? Shame on John Wiley for this disgraceful marketing scam. The content of the links is of dubious value, as usual. Does it really enhance understanding of titration curves to see them drawn as animations as opposed to the final, static, result? Has anybody's knowledge of enzyme motifs been clarified by seeing rotating ribbon diagrams? Folks, these are gimmicks to jusify the continually escalating prices of textbooks. Stick to the steak and don't be fooled by the sizzle. Devlin has done a great job putting together a very readable and entertaining book on a difficult subject. If only he could find a serious publisher who doesn't insult our intelligence. Review: Biochemistry for Med - Very good biochemical textbook oriented to medical students or Residentes who need or require an introduction to metabolic disease. It is updated but the acid-base equilibrium part has been shortened. Notwithstanding, is one of the best in its field
