Editorial Review:
Over the years Bettelheim,Brown, and March's INTRODUCTION TO GENERAL, ORGANIC AND BIOCHEMISTRY has become the most respected and best-selling General, Organic and Biochemistry (GOB) textbook on the market. Known for the successful way it meets the needs of students who take this course--from re-entry students to those heading directly into careers in the allied health fields--the book is acclaimed for the way it provides students a solid chemistry foundation that will serve them well long after they leave the course. In this edition, the authors continue the hallmarks that have made their book a classic in the field: a pedagogically rich learning framework; a wide variety of medical and biological applications; a visually dynamic art program, innovative "Chemical Connections" essays that focus on current issues in general organic, and biochemistry; and exceptionally strong and varied end-of-chapter problems. At the same time, they have extended their student focus by providing a greatly expanded interactive CD-ROM, as well as a new "Career Corner" portion on the Book Companion Web site designed to help students make the connections between the chemistry they are learning today and their future careers. This edition gives students a solid foundation of the chemistry of the human body, consistently demonstrating that a strong background in molecular structure and properties leads to better understanding of biochemical interactions. The strength of this book is its readability, its application to normal human biochemical pathways, as well as discussing biochemical conditions present in diseases. The authors provide a unified view of chemistry, frequently using organic and biological substances to illustrate principles of general chemistry.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Very helpful
I bought this book to use to teach myself fundamentals of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry becuase I had not taken them as an undergraduate student and needed to know the fundamentals for post-graduate work. I have found this text very helpful and relatively easy to follow as for as text books go. The progression of lessons from section to section is excellent. It is a lot of information jammed into one text, but done well.
Rating:  - Great book but so many errors and typos
I had to buy this book for a college chemistry course. The book is well written with plenty of examples and (mostly) good explanations.
When I first read the reviews I have to admit I was wary of the reviewer who said there were many errors and typos. But now that I have the book and have been through 5 chapters, I can't believe how many mistakes there are. It can make things very confusing.

Rating:  - I am very satisfied!
I was very satisfied with the service amazon.com provided for me. I had boughten a textbook and recieved it days before they said it would be delivered to me. Thank you amazon.com!
Rating: - This book is a poor excuse for a College-level textbook
I am back in college, studying Organic chemistry. This book is a Seventh Edition, but wait, its rife with typos. Not just misspelled words, but errors in equations, answers in the back and other annoying things that you would think would be worked out by a SEVENTH EDITION. Did they hire and editor? Did he know how to do math? Did the author check his work? It is so poorly done. Its like an easter egg hunt in a mine field. We had to get chemistry for dummies to supplement it, because the text is unclear, ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Text For Allied Health
I used this book for a year-long course in chemistry as a nursing major. It is excellent for the clear and concise way topics are presented. It is also good because it provides numerous practical examples of how chemistry applies to allied health sciences. The section on biochemistry presents difficult topics in an easy fashion. At least one semester of Introductory Chemistry is assumed in order to use this book. An excellent book overall!
