Product Description
At the Bench is the unique and hugely successful handbook for living and working in the laboratory, an essential aid to understanding basic lab techniques and how research groups work at a human level. In this newly revised edition, chapters have been rewritten to accommodate the impact of computer technology and the Internet, not only on the acquisition and analysis of data, but also on its organization and presentation. Alternatives to the use of radiation have been expanded, and figures and illustrations have been redrawn to reflect changes in laboratory equipment and procedures.Related Titles from the Publisher At the Helm: A Laboratory Navigator  Lab Ref, Volume 2: A Handbook of Recipes, Reagents, and Other Reference Tools for Use at the Bench Lab Dynamics Lab Math

A useful book by Jin Yu Zhu (SC,USA) 4 Stars
October 02, 2009
This book gives a clear big picture of what research labs environment feel like, but it can not substitute the actual experience. In a word, I like this book and recommend it to those who are new to a research lab, but keep in mind that situations are not always the same as stated in the book.

Great Book! by N. Q. ZOLLAR (Virginia, USA) 5 Stars

I bought the original one in 2000 and it was a great help to me. I just bought the new one for my lab so people who are not really science oriented can read it and get a grasp of whats going on quickly.

good lab intro for non-lab-tech types by cxlxmx 5 Stars
September 19, 2008
I am a nursing student with no background in genetics trying to find my way through a biology seminar in virology. I think this book is effective in helping me to understand some of the background knowledge on experiments reported in the primary literature--knowledge that the biology students take for granted.
