Prescott's Microbiology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I learned a hell of a lot more from this text than my professor. It was better written than I expected, it's as up to date as you can expect a textbook to be, and the pictures/diagrams are good. And most importantly, IDENTICAL to the hardback, but cheaper.

The brand new author team of Prescott, Harley and Klein's "Microbiology" continues the tradition of past editions by providing a balanced, comprehensive introduction to all major areas of microbiology. Because of this balance, the "Seventh Edition of Microbiology" is appropriate for microbiology majors and mixed majors courses. The new authors have focused on readability, artwork, and the integration of several key themes (including evolution, ecology and diversity) throughout the text, making an already superior text even better.

General, Organic and Biochemistry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Was forced to purchase this 5lb book, but what is bad, is the publisher "offers" the homework site (forces students to buy the brand new book, or extra $$$ for the access codes), and this is the second class, different disciplines, I was forced to try and do work on their slow, glitch filled "homework" that takes forever, one question at a time, everybody hates it, teachers push and push it, there has got to be some graft, kickbacks, fees paid to the school something, teachers not wanting to even acknowledge that it's bad, marks right answers wrong, etc etc etc. For the extra $20 a student, it's the students that are some test case, or helping them work out the bugs, meanwhile you get bad grades because the homework counts twice as much as the tests (whoever heard of that?)

The sixth edition of "General, Organic, and Biochemistry" is designed to help undergraduate health-related majors, and students of all other majors, understand key concepts and appreciate the significant connections between chemistry, health, disease, and the treatment of disease. This text continues to strike a balance between theoretical and practical chemistry, while emphasizing material that is unique to health-related studies. The text has been written at a level intended for students whose professional goals do not include a mastery of chemistry, but for whom an understanding of the principles and practice of chemistry is a necessity. Designed for the one- or two-semester course, this text has an easy-to-follow problem-solving pedagogy, vivid illustrations, and engaging applications.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Genetics: From Genes to Genomes. Leland H. Hartwell ... Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This international edition is exactly what I needed and for a great price. It is much cheaper than it's American counterpart, which is a hard back. The only downside is that the page edges will bend if you aren't careful, but other than that, it is an amazing intro to Genetics book if you need one.
