1.		The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life from Harper Paperbacks Price: $7.32 Customer Review: BECKER'S DISCOVERIES ARE EYE OPENING AND ALSO EYE OPENING IS THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE GREATER SCIENCE COMMUNITY IN USURPING THE TRUTH.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		A Dictionary of Biology (Oxford Paperback Reference) from Oxford University Press, USA Customer Review: Even though it is an Oxford Dictionary, the dictionary as such is not that good. The definitions are not too bad, but it is lacking of a lot of terms.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.	[no image]	Introduction to Health Physics from McGraw-Hill Health Professions Division Customer Review: The fourth edition of Introduction to Health Physics by Herman Cember and Thomas Johnson is a 21st century update to the classic Health Physics text.

4.		Science and Practice of Strength Training, Second Edition from Human Kinetics Price: $43.58 Customer Review: I have mixed feelings about this book. First, the good stuff: it contains a good review of current scientific literature relating to muscle development. It contains (I assume) good instructions to persons who are seriously training for regional or international competitions in weight lifting,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Forensic Science of C.S.I. from Berkley Trade Price: $5.20 Customer Review: We loved this book-- on the back cover it asks about a half dozen questions like -- "how can a pair of glasses suggest murder rather than suicide?" and others-- and then goes on to explain how forensic scientists arrive at their final conclusions using all kinds of methods and analysis. The auhtor... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Radiobiology for the Radiologist from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Price: $89.00 Customer Review: While this reference has been used by Radiologists and residents in Radiology for a number of years, the emergence of post Certification (at the Baccalaureate and Masters Level)programs of study has created a new audience for this text.

7.		Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons (Computational Neuroscience) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $51.99 Customer Review: Koch's book is a tour de force - a chocolate box of biophysics with coatings of equations and melting illustrative centers. I dip into it whenever I want a sharply phrased insight, or hunger for a fact. I have only 2 quibbles. The book is unfortunately too good - the brilliance lavished on it would... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Crystallography Made Crystal Clear, Second Edition: A Guide for Users of Macromolecular Models (Complementary Science) from Academic Press Price: $20.00 Customer Review: The book came in very good condition.

9.		Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues from Springer Price: $67.53 Customer Review: So i received my copy and it's fine, aside from the fact that the entire thing is printed upside down.

10.		Ionic Channels of Excitable Membranes from Sinauer Associates Price: $45.00 Customer Review: I got this book for a class and never used actually used it. The book is really hard to understand and over the top. Be warned if you don't have a strong background in biophysics and other sciences this book will make no sense.

11.		Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy from Springer Price: $73.61 Customer Review: Whether you like it or not (and I do, very much), every student of fluorescence spectroscopy or imaging should be familiar with Lakowicz.

15.		Spikes: Exploring the Neural Code (Computational Neuroscience) from The MIT Press Price: $35.24 Customer Review: This book appears to be oriented towards neurobiologists with an interest in the mathematical analysis of neural data, and also towards physicists and mathemeticians interested in the information processing by so-called "real" nervous systems. The authors have done a great job in quantifying various... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
