Biochemistry (Lippincott Illustrated Review)

Highly recommend this book. Used it as a supplement for both regular biochem and for medical biochem. Very clear and organized. Explained things with adequate depth.

Makes concepts easier

Although I'm a student and haven't reviewed many biochem textbooks, this one is great for being easy to read (yet still comprehensive). I am unhappy that the binding did not hold up. My class is only 8 weeks long and by week 4, I had to have it rebound! Most of the pages for the first 3 chapters fell out. (I am out of the return period, so I didn't try contacting the seller to get a new copy, besides, I would have lost my notes/highlights if they expected me to return my book for a new copy.)

As well as being a great, latest addition textbook the online features really help to retain and drill in the information in small, digestible QBanks that are relevant to the topic being covered and not overly integrated.

This isn't a review of the book. This is a review for the kindle version. I just got my Ipad Air, one of the intentions being to have e textbooks so I don't have to lug the huge things around. And theyre cheaper. But the Ipad Kindle app sucks. Anytime you rotate your screen the whole thing freezes and you have to close and restart. Then with this book specifically, half the time you try to open it, it freezes on the cover and you have to close the app to do anything else. The other day I couldn't even open the book after numerous attempts. It opened today but its just not reliable. I wish I could just buy a PDF version so I can make notes on it, I just dont find the kindle app to be very efficient and user friendly. Guess I'm stuck with it but come on amazon, get it together.

I bought this book for my biochem class and it worked for a week but now when I try to open it it is just blank with a spinner that never loads. I've updated my computer and kindle but nothing is helping. Very annoying because I need it for class and cannot get a refund.

I am an adult learner and learning natural sciences has been challenging enough. This book is referenced in my intro duties biochemistry course and it’s phenomenal. Easy to follow diagrams and concise content! I have no clue what goes on in a Upper Level Biochem, but I’m sure this would help your studies.

The seller had imported the book directly so it came late. The book is a simplified version of biochemistry with clinical know how. Lot of illustrations are there. The paper quality is very good and the condition of the book was excellent. The seller even called me to ask if the book was delivered in good condition.

日本の一般病院に勤務する臨床医です。病気のメカニズムを知るために、購入しました。学生時代の授業は、TCAサイクル以外は、はしょって、そのときの消化不良を、卒後30年以上経っても、まだ引きずっています。そこで、思い立って、購入しました。全部で６００ページ以上ある洋書で、おそらく、最初は面食らうかもしれません。でも、読んでみると、35章のショートレクチャーからなる構成です。１日１レクチャー読むとすれば、１ヶ月余りで読破できます。それぞれのレクチャーの最後に、図の要約が載っていて、理解を確認するのにとても良い。本当に良書だと思いました。読者に良く内容を理解させようという、思いやりを感じます。 I am a Japanese clinician working for a general hospital. I purchased this book to deepen my understanding of disease mechanisms. Back in my student days, most classes skipped over topics, except for the TCA cycle, leaving me with a sense of dissatisfaction that has lingered for over 30 years since graduation. That’s brought me to try this book. For a Japanese, it’s an foreign language book with over 600 pages, which might feel overwhelming at first. However, it is structured into 35 short lectures. If you read one lecture per day, you can get through it in just over a month. At the end of each lecture, there is a summary with diagrams, which is very helpful for reinforcing your understanding. I can see the authors’ thoughtfulness and commitment to helping readers thoroughly understand the content. I really appreciate it.

El material es excelente, las correlaciones clínicas soy estupendas, explica muy bien las vías metabólicas con esquemas e ilustraciones de alto nivel, muy bueno para el estudiante de medicina por qué deja claro muchos conceptos que en otros libros no encontrarás. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Es un libro que me hubiera gustado encontrarme antes cuando estaba en la facultad.

you have to buy it!!
