Considered as a whole, however, the book is a straightforward account written by an obviously experienced teacher, who explains the elements of biochemistry simply and clearly.It does well what it is intended to do: to put over the essentials of biochemistry in a concise but readily comprehensible way.It covers some plant biochemistry, for example, photosynthesis, and, like all biochemistry textbooks, has to rely for some of its evidence on micro- organisms, but it is written in general terms with a leaning towards mammalian biochemistry.It can be recommended as a readable account with few frills which would serve as a good basis for more specialist studies.G.
