Customer Reviews

Simple, Lucid, yet encylopedic

This book is different from its contemporaries in many ways. First of all is written in a clinical approach format which is very interesting for medical students. Most of the biochemistry textbooks are dry and vast and difficult to grasp the information needed for a medico. But the Marks helps to learn to use biochemistry in the process of Clinical Problem Solving. With a lot of diagrams and clear text it is easy understand.The Clinical Material is presented in the form of real patients.It is a student friendly text with which you can learn biochemistry in a funny way of solving the clinical cases.It can be used as a main textbook for self study.I strongly recommend the Marks for all medical students.

This is the best biochemistry book (easy and comprehensive)

I love this book on biochemistry simply because it was the easiest to read, with diagrams and pictures even dumb people like me can read (gg). I also found that it is very comprehensive also. Some of the other titles I've read on the subject (Lippincott, Harper's) did not go into the detail of this one. Another positive note is that this is a clinical book also; giving you case studies in each chapter to test your knowledge. I can't say enough about this book and even referred it to one of my friends. Although not required in Chiropractic College (Lippincott was), it should have been the standard.

Extremely useful biochemistry text. Yes, USEFUL!!

This book shows how biochemistry courses can be made interesting and pertinent. I love the clinical symptoms and diagnoses boxes. Various biochemical processes are made relevant by linking them to symptoms and diagnoses. Remember in college when biochemistry was essentially a memorization exercise? Not so here. I am not a doctor or med student but I do have 24 hours of bio and take it from me this is a unique biochemistry text. The layout and design of the contents is very good. Well worth the price and deserving of shelf space in your library.

Excellent resource.

I am a medical student and it is a very easy to understand textbook. Recommend to buy to keep in handy. It is updated with current research.
