I don't know how to write a book on this toic, but I DO know this ain't it. Also, the audiobook is TEDIOUS. They read all the charts/tables cell by cell ....why? Why?????

This book is an okay book for those seeking to learn chemistry. It is not very detailed in certain chapters and sections sadly, but it had some nice facts about the medical field and on the side of the examples they explained what was done to get the answer.

While I didn't like the book so much, my teacher was one of the best and he was very nice and patient in teaching us.

I use it as a whole to accompany my study of Principles of Neurobiology (Liqun LUO). For that purpose, ànd with my initial rather basic level of knowledge of (bio)chemistry it is very useful: a clear presentation and an accompanying Pearson+ website with additional course materials.

good

[Dara · Rating 5 out of 5]

For a textbook it had very pertinent information and was very easy to follow and made even organic and biochemistry topics easy to follow.

a lot of errors in questions and problems but overall the book was really clear in its explanations for fairly complicated material (if you don't come from a science background).
