 Good information, poor illustrations, 1998-12-22
I used this text as a supplement for my microbial physiology class and found the explantions good, if not complete. The problem I had was that the graphic representations used to show varying processes were either very lacking, or completely absent. Most good science texts use detailed illustrations and colored ink. This text provides neither and would probably serve the more experienced bacterial physiologist as a good reference.

 Clear concise information and the right pretty pictures, 2001-07-19
Unfortunately, this book won't write your essay or do your problems for you, but it will give you enough information about the relevant biochemical processes that you'll know where to look for more, and you might even have some idea of what it means when you find it. The writing style is as non-jargon as possible, and the organisation makes it easy to find what you're looking for. Diagrams are definitely pretty, well annotated and are also explained in the main text. For undergraduate studies I'd definitely recommend _this_ version of the big Biochemistry doorstop/ text book. It's a sound basis for all that nasty work.

 Clear explanations, well written, an excellent textbook., 2000-11-24
Of all the books I have bought for use as a reference in my work, this is the best purchase I have made to date. The text covers many forms of pollutants, how they get in to the environment, what happens to them when they get there, how they disperse, and their effects on each other, on individual organisms, populations and communities. The writing is clear and concise and very easy to understand, covering all the important classes of pollutants. Many books are needlessly bogged down with weighty details and cumbersome explanations, or with poorly explained diagrams which seem to bear little or no relevance to the text. This book is quite the opposite. However although it is essentially an outline text, I feel that some topics could have had more explanation, eg. Cytochrome P450 and endocrine disruptors - though perhaps these are the remit of more in-depth biochemistry texts. Purely from a practical point of view, this book is an excellent reference for research, study and practice of many aspects of environmental science.

A must-have, 2005-01-14
This is the book for medical students in the first years to have. It has the necessary information for the first and second years (more than enough)in medical school. It has sintetic and yet complete information (Text, clinical correlations, and lots of pictures and schemes) of the most important aspects of this complex subject that is biochemistry. Definetely a "five star" book.
