(eBook) 2000 Bioquimica Lehninger

This 4th edition of that newer Lehninger is the result of the evolution of this approach. Sadly, Albert Lehninger has not been around for recent editions but the book is wisely titled Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry. It still strives and, for the most part, succeeds in being a readable body of work. (On the other hand, it is something of an unfair criticism to say a text is unreadable. Very few will sit and read such a book like a novel. While students would gain the most from this approach—all texts endeavor for a coherent effort at tying biochemistry into a “big picture,” they are most likely to check out a specific section on a topic of misunderstanding, or, more likely, check out the index for the exact item in question.) Authors David Nelson and Michael Cox have built upon their previous edition to generate a smoothly flowing work.
