Customer Reviews

Almost all you need to get through your undergrad studies.

I don't understand why so many science texts are overwrought and redundant. Worst of all, you end up paying premium prices for poor content, circuitous writing, and an inefficient organization of topics. The real coup de grace comes about when instructors recommend student companion texts with a sly wink and a nudge. Fortunately, resources like the 'Color Atlas of Biochemistry' are as affordable as they are efficient and useful. It will prove to be an invaluable reference, study aid, and a more adequate companion text than those offered by the more popular publishers. Far be it from me to suggest that you hurt your instructor's coffers by using this book as a primary source, but it would certainly be a great addition to your library.

Excellent small text/atlas.

I wish I had this book when I started my studies. It makes an excellent companion for reading with Voet & Voet. The illustrations are superb, worth memorizing, and supplement the excellent illustrations in Voet. Very easy to follow. The overview diagrams bring a great deal of information together visually.
