Résumé

Instant Notes in Chemistry for Biologists, Second Edition is a concise yet comprehensive book for undergraduates in the life sciences who have a limited background in chemistry. This book covers the main concepts in chemistry, provides principles and phenomena in the life sciences with clear biological examples. Building on the success of the first edition, the second edition has been fully revised and updated and includes new sections on water as a biological solvent, inorganic molecules and biological macro molecules.

Comments on the first edition

"This well-written, concise and reasonably priced book covers all aspects of chemistry relevant to the biological sciences and can certainly be a recommended reading for the students who need to have a very good foundation in chemistry in order to understand different biochemical processes." "Excellent integration of organic, physical and bio-inorganic chemistry." "This book-and its close partner Instant Notes in Biochemistry - are excellent publications and eminently suitable for the depth of Knowledge needed by applied students."
