Drawing on more than three decades of teaching experience, Roger Miesfeld and Megan McEvoy created a book that is both a learning tool for students and a teaching tool for instructors--one that delivers exceptionally readable explanations, stunning graphics, and rigorous content. Relevant everyday biochemistry examples make clear why biochemistry matters in a way that develops students' knowledge base and critical thinking skills. The second edition includes exciting new Your Turn critical thinking pedagogy, a thoughtful balance of biology and chemistry, a compelling ebook featuring 3D molecular images, videos, animations, and more.
