Medical biochemistry at a glance - Ben Greenstein

As with all the books in the "At a Glance" series, the aim of the approach is to reduce frills to zero, to condense words to the absolute minimum and to make the illustrations the primary tool of communication. The text repeats some of what is in the drawings and adds further basic information. It is not intended to try to raplace existing textbooks of biochemistry, but to provide students with a tool with which they can revise rapidly, economically and with confidence. It will also serve as a useful introductory book for those who do not need to a great deal of detail about biochemistry. It is therefore aimed at the student who wants essential information available literally at a glance. The scope of the book reflects the standard core curriculum of the preclinical medical course in biochemistry and will therefore be assential reading for all undergraduate medical students in this central part of their studies.

"This is exactly the sort of book one needs when questioned on biochemical topics that ought to spring easily to mind, but somehow don't seem to any more. I shall be keeping a copy within easy reach of my desk as an instant solution to such biochemical amnesia."
