Customer Reviews

review of the book clinical chemistry by marshall

I bought this book because it is written by british authors which I think based on my experience of purchasing books are more informative than american authors. This book is a good book in clinical chemistry. Its main deficiency is that it is not comprehensive and does not include all the material experienced in the clinical chemistry lab. In general it is a good book for beginners.

A nice little reference

This is a thourough and concise reference addressing major clinical concepts. Its very colorful and easy to read, visually appealing, and far less daunting than the 2000+ page doorstops that are housed on the same shelf. Be warned, if you need a doorstop this book is not for you. This is just a major clinical concepts book with excellent diagrams and explanations. I would compare it to the BRS books, the Lange Review books, or the older NMS/Blueprints series in terms of content. If you are a fan of these types of texts then this book is for you!
