Biophysics DeMYSTiFied Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This introduction to biophysics is very well written and covers the basics in a very clear and easy to follow manner. The discussion on entropy was particularly clear and better than most physics textbooks treatments of the subject. I would definitely recommend it to those with even a basic knowledge of physics.

Learn BIOPHYSICS without expending a lot of ENERGY!
Interested in unraveling the physics of living things? Here's your starting point. Biophysics Demystified is the fast and easy way to understand this fascinating topic.
Written in a step-by-step format, this practical guide begins with an introduction to the science of biophysics, covering biophysical techniques and applications. Next, you'll learn the principles of physics, biology, and chemistry required to understand biophysics, including free energy, entropy, and statistical mechanics. Biomolecules and the forces that influence their structure and conformation are also covered, as are protein, nucleic acid, and membrane biophysics. Detailed examples and concise explanations make it easy to understand the material, and end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam help reinforce key concepts.
It's a no-brainer! You'll get:
Molecular, subcellular, physiological, anatomical, and environmental biophysics
The laws of thermodynamics as they apply to biophysical systems
Forces affecting conformation in biological molecules
The composition and structure of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
The fluid mosaic model

Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Biophysics Demystified makes this interdisciplinary subject easy to master.

Modern Compressible Flow: With Historical Perspective (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was an indispensible study tool for my PhD qualifying exam in high temp gas dynamics. Before reading this book I had never had a formal compressible flow class and I think that it covers the fundamental concepts of frozen compressible flow very well. If you don't have an excellent understanding of normal and oblique shocks, expansion fans, nozzle flow, blunt body flow and shock tubes after reading this book, you haven't been paying attention!

Anderson's book provides the most accessible approach to compressible flow for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students. In keeping with previous versions, the 3rd edition uses numerous historical vignettes that show the evolution of the field. New pedagogical features -"Roadmaps" showing the development of a given topic, and "Design Boxes" giving examples of design decisions - will make the 3rd edition even more student-friendly than before. The 3rd edition strikes a careful balance between classical methods of determining compressible flow, and modern numerical and computer techniques (such as CFD) now used in industry & research. A new Book Website will contain all problem solutions for instructors, and extended information on CFD.

Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book has a lot of basic stuff in it. It is rather easy to read and simplistic. It is a good introductory kinetics book, but be prepared to take advantage of other resources in order to accomplish your kinetics task. Not necessarily a great reference book for your graduate studies.

This book covers chemical kinetics from the working chemists' point of view. Competing books present a more theoretical presentation of kinetics. This book is a "how to" book for designing experiments, analyzing, and critiquing them. Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms also prepares chemists to devise experiments to test different hypotheses. A diskette that helps students solve end-of-chapter problems is packaged with each text.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
