not the product I ordered.......2007-04-03

I wanted to order the book, but when I recieved it, it was the wrong edition! Thanks for the honesty!

Well Written.......2007-01-05

The book was used for 90% of my class. It well written for the student with little exposure to chemistry. The pictures and diagrams could have better depicted the subject matter. The price was $40 less than what my college bookstore charges. Great value.

Excellent Textbook.......2006-04-19

This is an excellent textbook for a two semester course in General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry for Health Professions. It does a very good job of explaining the concepts of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry. It also has excellent applications on disease processes and pathophysiology. The organization of each chapter is a plus. I highly recommend this textbook. It is number one!

Excellent Book on Physiological Chemistry.......2006-03-05

This book is exactly as described by the publisher. A very readable overview of general and organic chemistry. A comprehensive study of the organic molecules and chemical processes specific to the human body.

I liked this book so much that I'm ordering a hardcover copy to replace my original paperback edition.

Multiple typos.......2003-12-11

I was required to purchase this text for my nurse anesthesia curriculum. I found it poorly written with confusing explanations of simple material that I had learned from previous courses.
The text was full of typographical errors as well as gross math errors. Throughout the book there are example problems worked out to show the reader how to solve formula. This would be very helpful if the text had been proof-read by anyone. There are blatant math errors that make the reader wonder about the validity of the explanation if simple math computations are wrong.
I would not recommend this text.

Book Description

This work addresses the whole range of problems relating to the application of satellite technology to studies of regional seas and sea phenomena - the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshia Current - and coastal zones. It argues that to emphasize global applications is to fail to take into account fundamental idiosyncrasies specific to the regional perspective. In addition, it describes implementation techniques - data gathering; in situ data assurance, algorithms for parameter retrieval; data storage; and data output.; The book contains satellite imagery and incorporates case studies from areas such as the Baltic and the Black Sea.

* Written by the world's leading authority on the subject
* Includes rarely or never before seen colour and black and white illustrations
