If you are a would-be or a weekend scientist, this book is a good place to begin your study. Though the core of the book is biology, you are will be introduced to anatomy, zoology, ecology, microbiology, chemistry and biochemistry, ornithology (the study of birds), and herpetology (the study of reptiles and amphibians).
Graduate students and medical students have different needs in their learning of biochemistry. Medical students often complain that their biochemistry courses do not focus on clinical relevance. This book, while not a reference book or a dissertation on all aspects of biochemistry, selects the most clinically relevant material that every clinician should know, and presents it in a way that enables the student to quickly see and understand clinical biochemistry as a conceptual whole.
As with all the books in the At a Glance series, the aim of the approach is to reduce frills to zero, to condense words to the absolute minimum and to make the illustrations the primary tool of communication. The text repeats some of what is in the drawings and adds further basic information.
