4.0 out of 5 stars A biophysical reflexion about life, August 7, 2000
By 
Carola Bruna (Concepción, CHILE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introductory Biophysics (Hardcover)
If you are looking for a bed-night story, that gives you an insight to all general aspects of life from a biochemist point of view: its possible origins, structure of the macromolecules which forms organisms, reactions and interactions to form larger complexes with biological functions, etc. You just found it! Although you need some experience, the book is quite light. Not a lot of concentration is required, just interest to understand living systems. It helps, the fact that it's resembles a literature book because of it's size and number of pages. Also, it has lots of diagrams, pictures and schemas that facilitate the comprehension of such a difficult subject. Until now is the only science book I have read which is perfect for bed-night reading. Even thought I was hoping for something different when I bought it, I enjoyed it. That's why it must be noticed: "Introductory Biophysics" it's not a complete textbook of biochemistry nor Biophysics. I consider that the objective of the authors is not providing a book to obtain technical references, but invite you to integrate all the knowledge you may have about biological sciences in order to reflect about the existence and function of life.
