Made easy! by Barbara A. Ferrell (Martin, TN)  5 Stars

I ordered this book to help me with a cell biology course in which the professor kept referring to molecular biology techniques. The book was very helpful. I wish I had ordered it earlier in the semester.

Most excellent introduction to molecular biology and especially genetics IMHO. by LightSeeker (North Carolina) 5 Stars
September 30, 2008
This book fit my expectations perfectly. I'm an IT guy working at a biotech, looking to become familiar with subject matter in which I need to help design supporting databases. I'm also just in possession of an inquisitive mind! It covered a reasonably large amount of material in molecular biology and especially genetics at a layman's level. You won't need an extensive background and knowledge in organic chemistry, biology, physiology, etc. to comprehend the material. It isn't filled with mathematical equations and chemical formulae. Instead, it contains a lot of helpful illustrations. The author has thoughtfully highlighted key words so I don't have to, and repeated the definitions of these key words in the margins. I would leave it to more knowledgeable experts in the field to assess just how deep the material really is. IMO though, if you're looking for a good introductory read that seems to go fairly deep down the rabbit hole, but is easy-to-read all the way down, then I highly recommend this book.

This is a great book not basic but understandable by R. Lucius (Springfield, Vermont United States) 5 Stars
April 13, 2008
I am still working my way through this book but am very satisfied with the level. It is a great supporting text for reading and understanding a molecular biology text book like Watson's.

Outstanding educator resource by Gerald Moss (Framingham, MA) 5 Stars
January 22, 2008
Biotechnology: A Comprehensive Curriculum Guide for a One Semester Course at the High School (grades 11-12) or Community College Level
This book was a life saver as I developed a biotechnology curriculum for grades 11-12. Not only is the information readable, it is presented in a "light" and humorous manner which makes high school students more likely to actually read the assignments! I used this as a primary resource and list it in my own Biotechnology Curriculum guide as a must have.

Terrific by Ajspinach (SF Bay Area) 5 Stars
November 27, 2007
I am a biostatistician in the molecular diagnostic field. I have very little training in molecular biology. This book is a great help for me to get the basics in order to communicate better with my bioloist colleagues. I can not recommend highly enough.
