5.0 out of 5 stars A big improvement in 3rd Edition, May 6, 2000

By	"ananja" (UAB) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Third Edition (Hardcover)

If you are looking for a good biochemistry text book for an introductory course in biochemistry, this book is highly recommended. Even though Lehninger passed away years ago, his famous book "Principles of Biochemistry" has stood as one of the best. Drs. Nelson and Cox from U of Wisconsin had updated this text 7 years ago when the second edition of the text was published. I used this text in my first year biochemistry class and I found that it was really help me learn this complicated yet fasinating materials. In 2000, the 3rd edition of text , still written by Nelson and Cox, is available in the market. I look through the book and I find that this book has been thoroughly updated while maintaining the excellent organization of the ordinary text. The CD-ROM is also included in this edition and there are lots of wonderful pictures and animation that can help you teach and learn biochemistry. Unlike Voets' text, this book is not chemistry oriented. So if you are looking for mechanism behind the metabolic process, Voet&Voet can serve as a better one. However, if you want to learn or teach biochemistry in general...this book is a book of your choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Introductory Textbook In Biochemistry..., August 26, 2001

By	Kersi Von Zerububbel "Kersi" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Third Edition (Hardcover)

This text in Biochemistry is a great introduction. I was quite familiar with Lubert Stryer's masterpiece but I must confess this textbook goes one step further. The slant is towards the med student and the notes on medical aspects are just plain fantastic. It took me almost a year to finish the book but the effort was well worth it. Besides I have been out of touch with Biochem since my college days. Aspects of RNA metabolism are plain fantastic!! What is more the layout and sequence of topics is just right. I found that using this text in conjunction with "Basic Medical Biochemistry" by Marks, Marks, and Smith will give you the best mix. Don't pass on this gem. It truly is worth your time and perusal. The cost is steep but textbooks usually are. Grab it!!

4.0 out of 5 stars BUYERS BEWARE! THERE ARE VARIANTS OF THIS BOOK!!, December 1, 2002

By	reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Third Edition (Hardcover)

Lehninger is one name that most undergraduates who take biochemistry courses know too well. This simplified, well-structured version remains an asset to a great number of students. But, no matter from which source you are ordering it, be sure to specify the actual edition you want as precise as possible. There are several variants of this book in the market (including Amazon.com...)! Do not forget to enter the complete details (including the ISBN number) of this textbook while placing an order for it; or else, you may end-up with the kind of "Lehninger" you didn't ask for.
