This text provides the student of health and life sciences with the basis for getting to grips with the chemical aspects of life processes.
This book is designed for students of biology, molecular biology, ecology, medicine, agriculture, forestry and other professions where the knowledge of organic chemistry plays the important role.
The text equips students with a complete view of the living state; emphasizes problem solving; and applies biochemical principles to the fields of Health, Agriculture, Engineering and Forensics, to show students the relevance of their ...
This text particularly caters for the chemistry requirements in any 'Integrated Pharmacy Curricula', where science in general is meant to be taught 'not in isolation', but together with, and as a part of, other practice and clinical ...
The text provides the biological context and student motivation missing from its closest competitor, Horton's Principles of Biochemistry, and full-coverage of chemical mechanisms missing in more biological texts, such as Campbell.
Rapid Review of Chemistry for the Life Sciences and Engineering demystifies chemistry for the non-chemist who, nevertheless, may be a practitioner of some area of science or engineering requiring or involving chemistry.
The text illustrates the use of organic chemistry as a tool in these sciences; it also stresses the organic compounds, both natural and synthetic, that surround us in everyday life: in pharmaceuticals, plastics, fibers, agrochemicals, ...
"This book has succeeded in covering the basic chemistry essentials required by the pharmaceutical science student... the undergraduate reader, be they chemist, biologist or pharmacist will find this an interesting and valuable read." ...
Organic chemistry is a mature branch of science which continues to expand in the sense that new reactions and new compounds continue to be discovered. Some compounds newly isolated from natural sources support life; others, ...
Most students who take such courses are majoring in nursing, other health professions, or the life sciences, and consider biochemistry to be the most relevant part of the course of study. However, an understanding of biochemistry ...
