Excellent Book on Physiological Chemistry
This book is exactly as described by the publisher. A very readable overview of general and organic chemistry. A comprehensive study of the organic molecules and chemical processes specific to the human body.
I liked this book so much that I'm ordering a hardcover copy to replace my original paperback edition.
Well Written
The book was used for 90% of my class. It well written for the student with little exposure to chemistry. The pictures and diagrams could have better depicted the subject matter. The price was $40 less than what my college bookstore charges. Great value.
Not bad
I got this book for my organic chemistry class. It's not as hard as other books to comprehend.
