1.		Molecular Biology of the Cell from Garland Science Price: $75.00 Customer Review: I am a biochemistry/biology grad student and I can tell you one thing: this is the single best cell biology book ever written. I used this book in multiple courses throughout my career, not only while in college, but also now I am a cell biology grad student. Since I started in college I have been... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.	[no image]	The Double Helix from Macmillian Publishing Company Price: $8.95 Customer Review: Many people undoubtedly never pick up this book because they think science is too boring or too complex to make for a true page-turner. How wrong they are! This is edge-of-your-seat fascinating. I doubt that Watson could write a super suspense novel, but he did something greater. In my humble... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Essential Cell Biology from Garland Science Price: $89.99 Customer Review: As a college student, I was very pleased with my purchase. It came in tip top shape; shipped in 2 days :).	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Machinery of Life from Springer Price: $17.12 Customer Review: I purchased this book because I wanted to know more about the subject. It was described as written for the general public. I found the author's style to be excellent. The book starts out with discussions of the E. Coli, a cell with a single compartment. When the explanation of this cell type is... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning from Goodheart-Willcox Pub Price: $45.25 Customer Review: I was specifically looking for detailed information on how to adjust a commercial dehumidifier, and the book just had short bits and pieces on those units. No real specifics on how to set up the pressures and charges for dehumidifiers. Otherwise, the book is fabulous. Great diagrams and loads... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism from Free Press Price: $8.89 Customer Review: I listened to the audio version of this book and enjoyed it very much. Behe takes some complex arguments and breaks them down so that even if I only got 60 to 70% comprehension of a particular one, it would make sense to me. And because there is a general theme in his arguments, cumulatively I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		McGraw-Hill's SAT Subject Test: Chemistry (McGraw-Hill Series in Chemistry) from McGraw-Hill Price: $3.25 Customer Review: I bought this book solely based on the 11 five-star versus 3 low-star reviews. However, it was misleading. Don't know where those 11 five-star reviews came from. This book is mostly fluff, with very little valuable stuff. Of course, you may buy it--if you target only 500-600. If you want a decent... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Wetware: A Computer in Every Living Cell from Yale University Press Price: $17.51 Customer Review: This book is full of fascinating information. Wetware is a book about the cell, it discusses the mechanics of signal transmission, the relationships between the various parts of the cell and the emergent phenomenon that result from a cell's architecture on a case by case basis from protazoa and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		BRS Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Genetics (Board Review Series) from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Price: $20.94 Customer Review: I mainly used this book as a resource to practice questions before my shelf exams. I feel that it is a good review book because it also integrates other topics like pathology, and pharmacology along with the study of biochemistry. I think that this book is a bit to superficial to use while... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		High-Yield Cell and Molecular Biology, 2nd Edition (High-Yield Series) from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Price: $14.94 Customer Review: This book is just simply alright. Yes I know this book goes into details that aren't traditionally covered in US schools, but we did cover all of it in Europe. So I would say that this book would be something I would use do compliment FA because it does lack Molecular.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook, Eighth Edition (Chemical Engineers Handbook) from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $50.00 Customer Review: Book was shipped on time and given for christmas. The kid I sent off to college came back a some type of super human genius who actually understands what is in this book. As for me, I don't really have a clue, but he said he needed it.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Working Guide to Process Equipment from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $51.09 Customer Review: There is a good reason this book has been updated into a third edition. It is a great book; well written, easy to read, and a logical flow. Norman Lieberman has a habit of writing with a sort of folksy everyman approach to subjects that could be rather dry otherwise. He and Elizabeth have done an... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Post-human Future: Political Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution from Profile Books Ltd Price: $18.99 Customer Review: Perhaps it is useful that Professor Fukuyama is again obsessed with "ends" rather than with "means." Inasmuch as it seems that speculations about "ends" is easier to write about. They allow us to "play out" often unpleasant, but easy and morally neutral "What if" mind games about possible future... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		BRS Cell Biology and Histology (Board Review Series) from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Price: $27.23 Customer Review: I think that this book is an ok review book, but a bit to superficial to use when learning histology. I recommend purchasing a larger text book to learn histology... I wish I had. The students in my class that read larger histology text books did much better in histology and subsequently pathology... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World (MacSci) from Palgrave Macmillan Price: $16.30 Customer Review: I have a complaint about the Kindle price. $14.82 for a book already in paperback for $11.56? Sheesh.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition from Garland Science/Taylor & Francis Group Price: $29.00 Customer Review: I like this book because I have used it before for a previous Biology class. I wanted to purchase it again for future reference.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Chemical History of a Candle from IndyPublish Price: $62.99 Customer Review: This is a book printed with care and great aesthetic sense. The text is easy to understand (I swear to you, it is interesting). It convinced me that Faraday was a very good teacher, not just a great inventor and chemist. And if you read between the lines, you will see that he had a beautiful soul.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Corporate Financial Management, Solutions Manual from Prentice Hall Price: $499.95 Customer Review: This book has been a good book for understand basic financial management concepts, but the quality of the paper of the book and the quality of the printed is bad, looks like if somebody got some copies and put the pages together for sale.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.	[no image]	Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers from Gulf+ Publishing Co Customer Review: This book is a work horse. It is extremly practical and to the point.

This book noteworthy for the depth of the material covered and the incredibly succint delivery of that information.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Biochemistry from Wiley Price: $17.00 Customer Review: I was first introduced to this book in my 3rd year undergrad biochemistry course (a biochem-for-biochem-majors course). I couldn't stand it! It went into so much detail about every aspect of biochemistry (well above and beyond the scope of the course), but never provided any simple introductions.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Third Edition: Process Measurement and Analysis from Butterworth-Heinemann Price: $149.00 Customer Review: I had my company purchase this reference to aid in the design of process systems. Rather than ask coworkers and receive vague or simplified answers, I ordered the book. The first two volumes are essential for a beginning mechanical engineer to have in the office library. Volume I covers equipment... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Molecular Biology of the Gene (6th Edition) from Benjamin Cummings Price: $129.55 Customer Review: For those of you who have read the 1st or 2nd edition of this book, low those many decades ago, the 6th edition is a fantastic read. The problem is that there is no published theory (Including quantum mechanics) that quantitatively describes the vector forces acting on molecules within biologic... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Third Edition (3 Volume Set) from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Price: $233.10 Customer Review: The books arrived in good condition, but it took a long time to arrive here.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level from Wiley Price: $115.55 Customer Review: This book is not an easy read, perhaps because of the difficult nature of the subject material. It is useful and full of good information. It does clearly explain difficult subjects. Bonus: It has the answers to the practice questions in the back of the book. (All of them, not just the odds.) This... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		High-Yield Biochemistry from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Price: $10.00 Customer Review: this book is terrible - hardly any info, almost no clinical information, no questions. go with lippincott	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Advanced Organic Chemistry: Part A: Structure and Mechanisms from Springer Customer Review: Carey and Sundberg Adv. Organic Chemistry is not a very effective book for learning Organic chemistry; explanations are often convoluted, poorly explained, and done in an unnecessarily roundabout fashion. Rather than present a basic concept and support it with various examples, the authors tend to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Gunpowder: Alchemy, Bombards, and Pyrotechnics : The History of the Explosive That Changed the World from Basic Books Price: $4.00 Customer Review: This is a quick and engaging read and should be regarded as being more for entertainment than education. Anyone who has any prior knowledge on the subject will likely not get a whole lot out of it. My main issue with this book is the condescending nature with which the author regards previous... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		iGenetics: A Molecular Approach (3rd Edition) from Benjamin Cummings Price: $97.95 Customer Review: Product arrived quickly and in good condition. I had no problems with the book. It was kind of expensive, but the service was good.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		Applied Subsurface Geological Mapping with Structural Methods (2nd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $110.25 Customer Review: After seeing this book, I see a lot of emphasis in structural geology. We could also add some input on Sedimentology and Geostatistics, which care more about reservoir heterogeneity.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering (4th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $102.15 Customer Review: Although this book does provide useful information, it is not especially clearly presented. Example problems are often less than helpful. Three quarters of the way thorugh an example the next line will say Ooops! and explain why the approach used for the problem was incorrect. Overall not a very... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
