About the Author
Reginald H. Garrett was educated in the Baltimore city public schools and at the John Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in biology in 1968. Since that time, he has been at the University of Virginia, where he is currently Professor of Biology. He is the author of numerous papers and review articles on biochemical, genetic, and molecular biological aspects of inorganic nitrogen metabolism. Since 1964, his research interests have centered on the pathway of nitrate assimilation in filamentous fungi. His investigations have contributed substantially to our understanding of the enzymology, genetics, and regulation of this major pathway of biological nitrogen acquisition. His research has been supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and private industry. He is a former Fulbright Scholar and has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Cambridge on two sabbatical occasions. He has taught biochemistry at the University of Virginia for 30 years. He is a member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Eh, Okay,
By Rosekeet (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Principles of Biochemistry With a Human Focus (Hardcover)
The first issue I have with this book is the quality of the figures. Some of them are fuzzy/blurry as if they were copied and pasted at low resolution. The little CD icon is really fuzzy. I feel that for such a high cost book, the quality of the figures should be higher. Also, there is no glossary. There are words in bold, but no glossary to look them up it. This really irritating and a personal pet peeve of mine. Also, I feel that the text itself is not as clear or well organized as it could be. For example, the alpha and beta designations of sugars is never properly explained. In general, this book is acceptable, but there has to be a better book out there.
Also! Grisham and Garret are the authors of TWO biochem books. Double check before you order. I accidentally ordered the wrong one the first time.

Solid book. Perhaps bit of a stretch for a level 3000 class, but challenging is good, right? (My prof. says that this book is designed for level 3000 or 4000 classes.) Retails for $291 new; EXCELLENT value!

i love this book, i am using it for my biochemistry class and it helps me understand the material very well. I also loved the price since my school's bookstore charges close to double what its worth with amazon.com.
