More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"...a highly comprehensive set of notes and pathway maps concentrated exclusively on metabolism. If you are after an easy going metabolism book for revision or as a good reference guide, this would be the ideal choice, as it is not too daunting to read and had plenty of well–organised pathway maps to keep you busy. This is especially useful for first year medics as part of their foundation study revision"
Leech y Gelen, University of Wales College of Medicine"
‘The book is easy to follow as the salient features of each metabolic pathway are highlighted on a detailed background map…the more medical aspects will appeal especially to medical students as they correlate neatly the basic biochemical principles with the development of some metabolic diseases…the book would be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and lecturers preparing to lecture in the filed of metabolism.’
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education (Journal of)
Product Description
Using the familiar At A Glance format, the second edition of this best–seller takes the reader through a complete review course of metabolism in health and disease. The salient features of a metabolic pathway are highlighted on a detailed background map, offering the choice to absorb as much, or as little, of the available information as required.
The text has been updated to include inborn errors of metabolism and new chapters on porphyrins, cholesterol and sports/exercise metabolism. Another major feature is the extensively revised chapters on diabetes.
Metabolism At A Glance will be an invaluable aid to students requiring a knowledge of metabolism for undergraduate medical, biochemistry, veterinary, sports science and nutrition courses, and for biomedical scientists and clinicians specializing in diabetes and inborn errors of metabolism.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent large format textbook that deals comprehensively with the main metabolic pathways of mammals. It is well written concise, comprehensible with large clear diagrams. I recommend it to my 2nd year Biochemistry and Microbiology students in a unit "Metabolic biochemistry". The first edition is still highly usable and often available in high quality used editions on Amazon at very reasonable cost.

Format:Paperback
This large format book reveiws basic metabolism in an easy to understand manner. Specific segments of the metabolic pathway are summarized within two pages. Each face-page gives an overview of the entire metabolic pathway, with an outline of the specific topic discussed within that section. Far easier to comprehend than the metabolic pathways as described in those well known Biochemistry tomes, where the entire metabolic pathway is spread over 100 or so pages!

Format:Paperback
As a biochemistry student I found this book to be the perfect partner to Albert Lehninger's "Principles of Biochemistry". An excellent overall picture of how each pathway interacts with other metabolic components.

Gives the big picture which is most important
We all know biochemistry is a challenging subject, but once you get the big picture - you're set. This book is great to read with Lippincott, but I read it solely with Rapid Review... Read more

Wait till you see the second edition...this is a superb book
The second edition is out, dated 1999, and is better than before. This is a superb book. Student's/Scientists deserve no less.
