Book Description
Glycostructures play a highly diverse and crucial role in a myriad of organisms and important systems in biology, physiology, medicine, bioengineering and technology. Only in recent years have the tools been developed to partly understand the highly complex functions and the chemistry behind them, but many facts still remain undiscovered. "All roads lead to carbohydrates ... we cannot do without them." (K.C. Nicolaou). Presently the field is experiencing a "quantum jump". Therefore the editors have drawn together in this three volume set plus an accompanying CD-ROM, the complete and up-to-date information on glycostructures, their chemistry and chemical biology, and present them in the form of a comprehensive and strictly systematic survey. The texts are furnished by 2.670 figures, chemical structures and reaction schemes (including more than 12.000 individual chemical reactions), and more than 9.000 references.
Book Description
This exciting entry into the Botany market is intended for non-science majors, but can be used to teach Introductory Botany at virtually any level. Key features include a stunning art program and engaging writing style from this well-respected author team.
Book Description
Over the years Bettelheim,Brown, and March's INTRODUCTION TO GENERAL, ORGANIC AND BIOCHEMISTRY has become the most respected and best-selling General, Organic and Biochemistry (GOB) textbook on the market. Known for the successful way it meets the needs of students who take this course--from re-entry students to those heading directly into careers in the allied health fields--the book is acclaimed for the way it provides students a solid chemistry foundation that will serve them well long after they leave the course. In this edition, the authors continue the hallmarks that have made their book a classic in the field: a pedagogically rich learning framework; a wide variety of medical and biological applications; a visually dynamic art program, innovative "Chemical Connections" essays that focus on current issues in general organic, and biochemistry; and exceptionally strong and varied end-of-chapter problems. At the same time, they have extended their student focus by providing a greatly expanded interactive CD-ROM, as well as a new "Career Corner" portion on the Book Companion Web site designed to help students make the connections between the chemistry they are learning today and their future careers. This edition gives students a solid foundation of the chemistry of the human body, consistently demonstrating that a strong background in molecular structure and properties leads to better understanding of biochemical interactions. The strength of this book is its readability, its application to normal human biochemical pathways, as well as discussing biochemical conditions present in diseases. The authors provide a unified view of chemistry, frequently using organic and biological substances to illustrate principles of general chemistry.
Customer Reviews:
Very helpful.......2007-01-13
I bought this book to use to teach myself fundamentals of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry becuase I had not taken them as an undergraduate student and needed to know the fundamentals for post-graduate work. I have found this text very helpful and relatively easy to follow as for as text books go. The progression of lessons from section to section is excellent. It is a lot of information jammed into one text, but done well.
Great book but so many errors and typos.......2006-02-15
I had to buy this book for a college chemistry course. The book is well written with plenty of examples and (mostly) good explanations.
When I first read the reviews I have to admit I was wary of the reviewer who said there were many errors and typos. But now that I have the book and have been through 5 chapters, I can't believe how many mistakes there are. It can make things very confusing.
A definition for one thing transposed with the definition of another! answers to example questions transposed with each other!
wrong answers in the back of the book! The book is indeed rife with errors.
The book could be a great one if these errors were addressed. If the publishers don't care about the mistakes, I should think the authors would.
I am very satisfied!.......2006-01-30
I was very satisfied with the service amazon.com provided for me. I had boughten a textbook and recieved it days before they said it would be delivered to me. Thank you amazon.com!
This book is a poor excuse for a College-level textbook.......2005-05-09
I am back in college, studying Organic chemistry. This book is a Seventh Edition, but wait, its rife with typos. Not just misspelled words, but errors in equations, answers in the back and other annoying things that you would think would be worked out by a SEVENTH EDITION. Did they hire and editor? Did he know how to do math? Did the author check his work? It is so poorly done. Its like an easter egg hunt in a mine field. We had to get chemistry for dummies to supplement it, because the text is unclear, and well, like an easter egg hunt. I found 3 typos in one chapter, and several typos all through the book. No one from Thompson Publishing would return a phone call, and the survey on the companion website: well that was just for fun, I guess. No one has responded to that either. I brought it to the attention of the department head at my college and he said he was unaware of any typos. I would not recommend the book, unless the publisher can publish a list of know typos and post them to the website.
Excellent Text For Allied Health.......2005-02-06
I used this book for a year-long course in chemistry as a nursing major. It is excellent for the clear and concise way topics are presented. It is also good because it provides numerous practical examples of how chemistry applies to allied health sciences. The section on biochemistry presents difficult topics in an easy fashion. At least one semester of Introductory Chemistry is assumed in order to use this book. An excellent book overall!
Book Description
General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry provides a readable, uncomplicated and accessible introduction to those in allied health and other fields who have little or no background in chemistry. The author uses the same style and integrated pedagogy that have made her one-semester book so successful, balancing technical accuracy and everyday examples to help chemistry come to life for readers. For college instructors and students.
Customer Reviews:
as described.......2007-10-01
Item as describe, However, had some problems with the delivery . It took me three weeks to get my books( I was qualified for 2 days shipping)
Amazing Read.......2006-11-20
I have to admit that this is the most interesting books I've ever read. If you want to know how the basics of life all tie together and form the world and existance around you then this is for you. This book has seriously opened up the world to me. I cannot look at anything around me like I used to. I recommend getting and reading this book solo. The way it is written makes it perfectly understandable without a teacher or professor of any kind. Everything is spelled out clearly with simple everday comparisons and examples. There are a ton of useful problems to work on to assist in cementing your knowledge in place. Seriously though I really can't think of any other book I've ever read that was more interesting than this one. Pick it up and prepare to see your world unfold in front of you as a new and chaotic, complex and beautifully organized universe.
Textbook/great shape.......2005-09-20
Very good service, book in great shape. Great savings for a new college student. Would do business with again. Thank-you!

Customer Reviews:
Yes, attack creationism!.......2006-06-08
"A Reader" wrote, "Good book, but attack on special creation unneccessary". I couldn't disagree more. Putting creationism in its correct place is precisely what good science should do. Part of the job of science is defeating old myths and faith-based means of "explanation" and replacing them with real science. So not only should evolution be taught but creationism should be explicitly mentioned by name and refuted. Science is a process and the best way to show that is to illustrate how it got to where it is today. That means the course of thought leading to today's science must be a part of the scenario. Thus, creationism should be shown wrong and refuted. After all, any astronomy course will show the roots of astronomy in the pre-science ideas that preceded it. Similarly a chemistry course must show how modern chemistry emerged from its precedents such as alchemy.
And that is what this book does. To call for any other approach would clearly be to call for special treatment for creationism. And this would be a giveaway as to the motivations of the person calling for such special treatment.
Great for Indiependent Learning.......2003-01-23
I used this text for a course that I took from Cal Berkeley Extension - online. That is an internet course. I am considering a career change from physical sciences to biotech and need to come up to speed rapidly.
The course covered only the first 2 units (first 17 chapters) so I will only speak to that. This text, with CD ROM (2) and internet learning center is GREAT! Looking at the entire package this is a great way to learn biology. The material covered in those first 17 chapters are exactly what one needs to know - elementary biochem; cell structure; genetics; gene expression; biotech. The illustrations are great and consistent (eg., phosphate groups are always orange-yellow) throughout the text. Actually, I would say that it is about the best illustrated text I have ever seen in my life. The on-line quizes (about 64 questions/chapter) let you know if you have really mastered the material or not. Independent questions at the end of every chapter all have answers in the appendix - so again you can check your understanding. The web site has shockwave art match the parts of the cell to the labels all as part of a package to independently learn biology.
I would say it would be helpful to have a year of college chemistry before plunging into this course - but the chemistry is not too sophisticated. The focus is on essentials - but with understanding. For people considering a switch into biology and want to study independently, I reccomend this book highly. I do not easily give 5 stars - but this book earns it.
Good book, but attack on special creation unneccessary.......2002-07-27
I really liked the 6th edition of this text, which I used for both semesters of General Biology. The illustrations were clear and I think Mader had a clear grasp of the concepts of biology. However, as a molecular biology major and as a person who has seen no evidence that macroevolution has occurred, I object to her characterization of creationism as unscientific. Mader is bold enough to actually state in Chapter 1 (in a connecting concepts box)"When faith is involved, a hypothesis cannont be tested in a purely objective way." She neglects to consider the exorbinant amount of faith it takes to believe in macroevolution. This is a theory which in all actuality is untestable. Furthermore, her statement which was quoted above would be considered by many to be "bad science"! She makes no reference to any studies which support her hypothesis. And I don't believe I've ever heard of any. In the fields of genetics and molecular biology, as we come to understand the complexity of living organisms, the theory of evolution just becomes more and more untenable. It's fine if Dr. Mader believes in evolution. That's her choice. But to go out of her way to rip the growing number of scientists who disagree with her was gratuitous and mean-spirited. This caused me to question HER objectivity throughout the rest of the book.
