Took a while to get through it, but I think it was overall quite an enjoyable read. Compared to other Biophysics texts I have read, it does a pretty standard job at mentioning central tenants to the field and elaborating on them, with enough of detail in a lot of sections to get a sort of crash course. I was especially fascinated by the inclusion of chapters on memory and consciousness, which were both enlightening and well made. This was especially important as the author delved (yikes, am I an AI now?) into his own opinions without sacrificing the objectivity in the book. Great mentions to all those relevant in the field. Would recommend, though not over Philip Nelson's classic text. Still, I think it expands more than Nelson's work and as such offers important new points. PBOC is overrated for biophysics anyway, but certainly a good read. A great addition to the biophysics/biochemistry canon.
