Book Description
A clear, consistent, and rigorous approach to statistics at an elementary level, this book's goal is to provide a sophisticated introduction of how and why the statistics process works. Every concept is carefully and clearly explained, enriched by a mathematical/statistical justification, and then illustrated by at least one concrete, worked example. Beginning with basic concepts, the book allows readers to acquire the ability to understand rather complicated statistical issues, such as linear regression theory and application. After introducing the sample mean and a few other descriptive statistics, the book turns to elementary probability theory, then extends to characterize samples selected from populations. It then explores the accuracy and precision of the mean value calculated from samples, and then presents the chi-square analytic technique. The remainder of the book deals with summarizing and analyzing bivariate data. For beginners interested in statistical methods to understand data analysis; these readers are employed in many areas, including Public Health, Genetics, Forestry, Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, Biophysics, medical researchers, and pre-med students.

Have to Disagree with Previous review.......2003-12-11
I am also currently taking a statistics course with Selvin at Berkeley. I took another stats course before this and despite everyone RAVING about how fabulous that class was, I found it made my head spin. Everytime I felt I understood a concept was like an epiphany, unfortunately it would quickly diminish due to more complicated examples and statistical theory.
Selvin's book (as well as class) has erased the mystery for me. I find the book thorough with clearly explained concepts and multitudes of relevant examples. Probability, smobability. Linear regression, no problem.
I'm giving the book 4 stars because of the editorial mistakes, otherwise I'd have given it 5 all the way.
A horrible statistics textbook.......2003-11-02
This is the worst textbook that I have ever used for a class, hands down. I am currently taking biostatistics with Selvin at U.C. Berkeley and this book is completely unhelpful. The proofs in the book are useless and the concepts explained in the book are convoluted and confusing. There are much better statistics textbooks out there. I definitely don't recommend this text for any biostatistics course.

Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry with The Chemistry Place CD-ROM (9th Edition).......2006-11-08
Great textbook. Very clear and thorough. Since I am having to teach myself this Chemistry course this semester, I am greatful that I at least have a good book to work with.
Customer Reviews:
A very solid text!.......2003-08-28
I'm a computer guy working at a biotech and wanted to know more about what the guys in the coats are doing. This book is a very good introduction for those with a science bent.
I especially enjoyed reading about the Bohr model of the atom (which is what I learned in school) only to have it totally dissed after 3/4ths of a page as inadequate!
I don't know how well it works as a class room text (this is night-time reading for me) but for a enjoyable well written text on Biochemistry this is an excellent choice.

Excellent Introduction to Chemistry.......2005-12-28
This was my first time studying Chemistry, and the book was excellent.
It's intended to students in the health field (ie nursing), and their applications are wonderful.
A little heavy on the exercises, but better too much than too little. It would do well to include more answers to the practice questions, but that's how they get you to buy the Study Guide. Oh well.
Great introduction to chemistry..........2003-01-06
this is an excellent introductory chemistry textbook....
it is great for the last year of highschool.. or for bridging from highschool to unviersity..
it isn't that deep enough for most first year chemistry courses... but reading through this book before OR while you are in ur first year course will greatly help you understand the material... because this book doesn't assume u know a lot about the subject already...
cuz face it guys... nobody tries to remember stuff in highschool.. i personally just wanted to get it over with... therefore I forgot everything ...... but in university ur mentality changes.. u actually want to learn.. not just get 90 and get it over with.. that's why I bought this the summer before my classes started.. and went through it a little everyday...
well my First Year class used Raymond Chang's CHemistry book (more advanced than this one) ... but I found it much easier, because I reviewed during the summer... and when I hit a topic that was hard.. i would reference this book.. read it.. then go back to Chang's and read the material... this helped a lot because this book assumes no previous knowledge....
so it's good for ppl like me.. for the few out there who actually cared in highschool.. and remember nething... this book is a waste.. because it isn't deep enough for first year chem courses (it is deep enough for non science major chem courses.. but not the hardcore first year general chem course)
hope this helps
Life saving personal tutor.......2002-08-25
I recently took chemistry part II after not having chemistry for several years. This book was a life saver. I was able to pull many examples from it to guide me when I did my homework. Chemistry is tough enough by itself, but this book really helped. All the answers are there so you can test yourself on one part, and then see the answers with explinations on another part. Everything was easy to understand in this book. I highly recommend this Study Guide. This Study Guide will save you a lot of time at the tutor, and keep you from pulling your hair out while figuring out chemistry.
Chemistry by Karen C. Timberlake.......2000-03-11
This is an excellent book. I tutor students who are going into the allied health professions, and some have never had chemistry before now. The chapters are clearly written with sample problems after each topic and end-of-chapter problems. I refer to it for exercises for my students. It is the best that I have found so far.

Book Description
Using the chemistry of life as a unifying theme, this proven book offers an integrated and balanced treatment of chemical concepts. Balances qualitative discussions with careful development of basic problem-solving skills. Organized in sequential chapters covering general, organic, and biochemistry, the topics are woven together when appropriate by using organic examples in the general chemistry section and biochemical examples in the organic chemistry chapters. Many pharmaceutical, medicinal, and general interest subjects are used in the in-chapter end-of-chapter examples and exercises. Essays highlight chemistry in the world around us including many medical applications (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; Gene Therapy in Cystic Fibrosis; Bone Marrow Transplants), dietary nutritional subjects (Bacteria and Ulcers; Diet, Amino Acid Supplements and Muscles), and general interest topics (Silicon Affects your Lifestyle; Recombinant DNA and Agriculture; Freon, Radicals, and the Ozone Layer).
Book Description
Drawing from the successful Laboratory Manual to accompany Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, this lab manual includes 25 experiments that have been revised and updated. For college instructors and students, or anyone interested in general, organic, or biological chemistry.
