GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY'S clear explanations, engaging and useful visual support, and powerful teaching elements combine to make this book the ideal choice. Author Stephen Stoker wisely revised the biochemistry chapters first and then tailored the general and organic sections to support that presentation. And, Stoker also appropriately restricts the coverage of mathematics to point-of-use as needed.
