BRS Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Board Review Series)

9 reviews
Todd A Swanson, Sandra I Kim, ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

Good review of biochem
BRS biochemistry covers all the material that you would expect, and, while there are errors in the review questions, most are simply the answer choice not corresponding to the explanation. I, for one, prefer the BRS format to the rapid review, so I'll put up with the inconvenience.

Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution

608 reviews
Michael J. Behe

Free Press, 2006

Well written - read it for yourself
Very well written book. Despite the impression that some reviews give, the book is quite logical in its approach. There are some very in depth descriptions of cellular mechanics and certain biological functions (such as blood clotting). But the author sets these difficult passages apart from the main text, providing a simpler overview, and a more in-depth analysis for science-minded folks who ...

Microcosm: E. coli and the New Science of Life

12 reviews
Carl Zimmer

Pantheon, 2008

A Tale of E.coli
In Microcosm, Zimmer has eloquently condensed a century of scientific study surrounding Eschericia coli into an accurate and flowing story readable by anyone with even just a modest understanding of biology. As Zimmer points out, E.coli has held a central role in microbiology since its first description by German pediatrician Theodor Escherich in the 19th century. This simple bacterium and ...

Hervé This

Columbia University Press, 2005

For the scientist-cook
After reading the Italian translation a coupe of years ago, I was so much hoping for an English translation, and here it is; and it's brilliant! It's quite one thing to follow recipes and follow instructions, and quite another to understand at a physico-chemical level WHY you need to do things in a certain way. As a scientisty person- really, just as a curious person- you want to know what's ...

Molecular Biology of the Cell

75 reviews
Bruce Alberts, Alexander Johnson, ...

Garland Science, 2007

Amazing Book!!!!!!
This book is so clear and full of good information. I use it as a reference book for classes. It goes into great detail but not overly so. I recommend this book to any cellular/molecular biology student or faculty.

SYNC: How Order Emerges From Chaos In the Universe, Nature, and Daily Life

56 reviews
Steven H. Strogatz

Hyperion, 2004

Great read
Nutshell review - This is a great read, eloquently written and provides a very exciting, layman's overview of the fascinating world of order, chaos and synchronization - where it comes from and how it plays a role in our life and our world. Strogatz is one of the original researchers into this interesting field and gives us lots of food for thought! Excellent.

National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine

National Academies Press, 2008

Looking to explain the fundamentals of evolution as well as the arguments of creationism
How did life come to be on this planet? This question is discussed at length by "Science, Evolution, and Creationism". Looking to explain the fundamentals of evolution as well as the arguments of creationism, "Science, Evolution and Creationism" is a wide reaching look at all perspectives on the subject. Highly recommended for community library religion and science collections.

The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles

223 reviews
Bruce H. Lipton

Mountain of Love, 2005

Changing old beliefs
The Biology of Belief reinforced my belief that drugs do nothing but cause problems for the body. Bruce Lipton shows exactly what drugs do to the body which for myself was a vindication of what I believed for the last 20 years. It also gives great hope for the power of belief in providing a means to listen to the body and act on what you feel when the body speaks. It was very eye opening to ...

Histology: A Text and Atlas: With Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology (Histology (Ross))

6 reviews
Michael H Ross, Wojciech Pawlina

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

The best Histology book that I've found.
This Histology book is the most thorough and well-written text out there. If you have no background in Histology, this book can be quite intimidating because it is content-rich. I was very overwhelmed when I first started with this book for undergrad, but now that I have gotten through it and read other titles for med school, I believe that this book is the best. It teaches Histology in a way ...

What Is Life?: with "Mind and Matter" and "Autobiographical Sketches"

18 reviews
Erwin Schrodinger

Cambridge University Press, 1992

A spectacular read!!
"What Is Life" is an excellent look into the brilliant mind of one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century, Erwin Schrodinger. This book suggested the existence of DNA. Tell me thats not important!! Also, "Mind and Matter" is an amazing look into human consciousness and will definitely provoke many thoughts. This book contains alot of technical language, so you may want to have a ...

Brain Rules

42 reviews

Pear Press, 2008

Outstanding tips with a sense of humor
This author, a well educated neuroscientist, has that rare ability to combine scientific wisdom, common sense and a sense of humor into a cocktail that goes down easy and creates a very pleasant feeling, but doesn't make you stupid. You then know what you need to do to be healthier, live longer and feel better. The rest is up to you.

Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fifth Edition: The Problems Book

4 reviews
John Wilson, Tim Hunt

Garland Science, 2007

Great Book
This is a great book, and gets better with each edition. If you are taking cell biology out of MBOTC, and don't have this book, you're playing with one hand tied behind your back. And if you're just reading MBOTC for fun, get this book, do the problems, and you'll learn more than you would in many University level cell biology courses.

BRS Cell Biology and Histology (Board Review Series)

10 reviews
Leslie P Gartner, James L Hiatt, ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Better than Kaplan's review for Histology.
A must have. Really important and understandable facts in the light of USMLE. I'm reading some other books on this subject too, and I have inferred that this one is very good.

At Home in the Universe: The Search for the Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity

59 reviews
Stuart Kauffman

Oxford University Press, USA, 1996

Proposals to Unanswered Questions
Stuart Kaufman's At Home in the Universe is a lay redaction his scientific hypotheses from his Origins of Order, a rich, fascinating, sophisticated, and complementary set of hypotheses added to Darwin's theories of evolution. For the moment, at least, they are the promising fruit of speculative or theoretical biological hypotheses (with physics, chemistry, geology, paleontology, mathematics, game ...

Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition

34 reviews
Bruce Alberts, Dennis Bray, ...

Garland Science/Taylor & Francis Group, 2003

I learned with ease from this book
This textbook stands out as one of the best books I've used in college. I was able to learn better from the book than from class. The illustrations were very helpful and the explanations were easy to comprehend for being difficult material, which actually stuck in my head. I was so glad to have this book!

Bioinformatics For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))

16 reviews
Jean-Michel, Ph. D. Claverie, Cedric, Ph.D. Notredame

For Dummies, 2006

Good
I am a couple years into a PhD in bioinformatics, but this is the book I started with. I knew some biology and some computer science, but I still found a lot of the databases, etc. confusing and the field has a decided lack of simplified documentation (though it is getting better). Of course, bioinformatics is a pretty broad topic and no book could possibly cover everything. If you do not ...
