4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise for the student and lab generalist, December 7, 2006

This review is from: Clinical Chemistry: Principles, Procedures, Correlations (Bishop, Clinical Chemistry) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book to use as an introduction to clinical chemistry. The chapter layout is logical and the content finds an appropriate balance keeping things concise but with enough depth for most student MTs and generalists. Specialist lab personnel and student MTs with clinical chemistry as a career interest would probably find the Tietz Fundamentals (not the Tietz Textbook-that's overkill) to be a better investment though as it covers topics at greater depth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to sell it back!, December 10, 2008

This review is from: Clinical Chemistry: Principles, Procedures, Correlations (Bishop, Clinical Chemistry) (Hardcover)

This book was very unhelpful to me. It was much more involved then I needed it to be. Like one other review said, it takes so long to figure out what the heck they are talking about.. It's not in plain enlgish. Its more for people who ACED chem 1 and 2. You have to really understand the concepts to get anything out of it. For techs just learning, I believe it needs to explain the simple concepts more before going into great detail. I would not recommend this book if you really use your books to study like I do, it didn't help. Like another reviewer said, google is more helpful and I agree!

Well this book is not the most amazing book ever, i would not recommend it to anyone else. I would say this book is better than its newer version which is 6th edition which has no glossary, what kind of book does not have a glossary? They at least need to proof read the book before publishing.
