 A good book for review November 6, 2008

I enjoy reading up on the sciences, and periodically I review my anatomy-phys, chemistry, physics and mathematics. I found this book and decided it would be a good way to review both organic and inorganic chemistry.
An introduction to Chemistry for Biology Students is a superb book for review. It is in the time honored programmed learning format first developed and widely used in the 1960s. Each page has a small bit of information and questions based on it with answers to the questions immediately available in the margin of the page. With immediate feed back the student learns about and corrects their mistakes before moving on to the next bit of information and its questions.
The book covers a lot of ground: inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. Obviously in a book of only 287 pages, and with much redundancy and reinforcement, none of the topics is discussed in any depth. It is a good review but no substitute for a more detailed text on each of the categories.

The shipping took way too long. They obviously did not have it in the mail within 24hours, which I find unacceptable.
 Excellent September 11, 2008

This book is exactly what my daughter needed for her college course. I am very happy with the service at Amazon.com. Quick delivery.
Easy to read, but very simple information July 27, 2008
J. White (Deltona, FL)
This book is easy to read, but the material contained within is very basic. If you have any chemistry knowledge, you might find the book boring. I like it, so I am enjoying it.
User-friendly, appeals to most readers February 29, 2008

This book helped me a lot in understanding complex sections in chemistry usually covered in biology. I am a nursing major, and I find this book very helpful in the following classes (prerequisites): Human Physiology, General Microbiology, and Chemistry (Chemistry for Allied Health Majors). I let my friend barrow this workbook and she told me personally that it is easy to read and very effective in teaching concepts...
This book summarizes in a very informative and interactive way Chemistry concepts that will sound foreign for a non-chemistry major. Very good and very concise. It's worth the price.
