Reviews

Five-star reviews:

Great!
"Excellent introduction / revision of chemistry essentials for the biological sciences student – presented in a very clear and understandable format."

Useful
"Perfect for university student"

Five stars
"Great to get me up to scratch for uni."

A great boook as a refresher or to understand biological applications of chemistry
"As a mature student studying the biological/biomedical sciences, it's been a long time since I studied chemistry. My university recommended this book and I'm so glad they did.
One of the biggest things I struggle with is applying chemistry to biology. I can understand chemistry concepts in a bubble, but when figuring out how they apply to biology I struggle, this book helpfully applies all the chemistry to the life sciences in an easy to understand way.
It's not a text book, I think if you're struggling with chemistry as a whole you will need other books alongside this as a reference, but if you are looking for ways to apply chemistry knowledge to biology or an overview of chemistry already learnt for revision purposes it's great. It's a really easy to read book."

Just what I expected
" I am really pleased with this book, thank you – this book is just as good as expected, if not better."

Five stars
"Really helped me with my course!"
