Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A best-selling core textbook for medical students taking medical biochemistry, Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry links biochemical concepts to physiology and pathophysiology, using hypothetical patient vignettes to illustrate core concepts. Completely updated to include full-color art, expanded clinical notes, and bulleted summaries at the end of each chapter, the revised Third Edition helps medical students understand the importance of the patient and bridges the gap between biochemistry, physiology, and clinical care.

The book then was amazing. It's explanations were easy to understand, the figures weren't confusing, and the clinical correlations helped out tremendously. When I did enter medical school, I cracked open the book again to see if it would help with the level we were at there. It did! It seems to have a good balance in teaching the concept and integrating the deep minutia. I absolutely love this book. Whenever stuff gets a little confusing at school, I go home and read it and it clears it all up. This book comes highly recommended! 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, March 11, 2007 By  Rafael Macedo Mustafé "Maul" (Goiânia, GO Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach (Paperback) This book was a very good purchasing, because it gives me the main infomation about biomolecules, metabolism and biochemistry deseases.

This edition gives specific and memorable clinical cases that help one to remember and apply these priniciples in clinical practice. It also comes with a CD that is a great bonus. I heartily recommend this book to help explain and use the basic medical biochemistry principles. It starts with a look at the metabolic and nutritional needs of the human body, relevent to anyone, and a great place to start, whereas many other books like, Lehninger, start out with chemical theory. This makes Marks much more relevent to the medical student and much more interesting. I recommend this book for your library and practical use. Use Lehninger to keep the door open, and read Marks to feed your brain.		Ad feedback   Most Recent Customer Reviews 1.0 out of 5 stars horrible book errors EVERYWHERE.
