Average rating of 5/5 A must for biology undergraduates., 2005-12-03
A really good textbook for all undergraduate biology and biochemistry students. One of the only books I consistently used throughout my course. I am now a teacher, and often use it to help bridge the gap for my students between A levels and university. It is very clear and the diagrams are excellent. If I were a student considering buying this book, I am not sure that I would spend the extra money on buying the latest edition. It costs enough to go to university as it is! If you do buy it used though, make sure it's in good condition as it will be well used.

Average rating of 5/5 Well written and clear, 2005-12-15
I have just started a BSc in Biomedicine and was having difficulty getting to grips with biochemistry. Many books on biochemistry are written very poorly and/or assume that you have a good basic knowledge. This book was a pleasure to read. I am actually learning the subject. The English is very clear and the sentences are well written. The diagrams are also helpful without providing overwhelming information. The book claims to be for A-level students, but as a mature student I don't know what A-levels are like today. For me, doing a degree, it has proved ideal.

Average rating of 5/5 This book has a valuable content for First year Biology, 2003-02-18
I've had this book for a while now, and although I do agree that the content of this book is a tad basic for the first year Medical Student. It helped me no-end during my basic medical sciences prior to Medicine.. The Book is really suitable for those studying first year General Biology, where the course objective is to gain a broad and semi-simple knowledge of Cellular Biology. I do recommend this book for those first year students who would like to do some additional reading on Cellular Biology. It's detail although basic does indeed enhance the understanding of concepts later taught and decribed in lectures and seminars.
Conclusion: Well thought out book suitable for first year General Biology students, where painfully intimate knowledge of Molecular & Cell Biology is not required.
