Made easy! May 4, 2009

I ordered this book to help me with a cell biology course in which the professor kept referring to molecular biology techniques. The book was very helpful. I wish I had ordered it earlier in the semester.
Most excellent introduction to molecular biology and especially genetics IMHO. September 30, 2008

This book fit my expectations perfectly. I'm an IT guy working at a biotech, looking to become familiar with subject matter in which I need to help design supporting databases. I'm also just in possession of an inquisitive mind! It covered a reasonably large amount of material in molecular biology and especially genetics at a layman's level. You won't need an extensive background and knowledge in organic chemistry, biology, physiology, etc. to comprehend the material. It isn't filled with mathematical equations and chemical formulae. Instead, it contains a lot of helpful illustrations. The author has thoughtfully highlighted key words so I don't have to, and repeated the definitions of these key words in the margins. I would leave it to more knowledgeable experts in the field to assess just how deep the material really is. IMO though, if you're looking for a good introductory read that seems to go fairly deep down the rabbit hole, but is easy-to-read all the way down, then I highly recommend this book.
This is a great book not basic but understandable April 13, 2008

I am still working my way through this book but am very satisfied with the level. It is a great supporting text for reading and understanding a molecular biology text book like Watson's.
Outstanding educator resource January 22, 2008

Biotechnology: A Comprehensive Curriculum Guide for a One Semester Course at the High School (grades 11-12) or Community College Level
This book was a life saver as I developed a biotechnology curriculum for grades 11-12. Not only is the information readable, it is presented in a "light" and humorous manner which makes high school students more likely to actually read the assignments! I used this as a primary resource and list it in my own Biotechnology Curriculum guide as a must have.
Terrific November 27, 2007

I am a biostatistician in the molecular diagnostic field. I have very little training in molecular biology. This book is a great help for me to get the basics in order to communicate better with my bioloist colleagues. I can not recommend highly enough.
