Editorial Reviews

Review

"There are many general biochemical textbooks on the market today and Campbell's textbook stands the test of time on the basics...This is an ideal introductory text for 1st year undergraduates, in biological or medical sciences, and for keen A level students. A particular strength of the book is the chapter summaries that help guide a reader into the topic area." Journal of Biological Education, 2006
