1 stars (Only thoughts: WTF!!) - I helped teach three terms of upper division biochemistry with this book and this book is terrible!! Don't get this confused with the Stryer book (although he is listed as an author, the book IS NOT written in his style). For non-biochem people, get the real Stryer book and for biochem people get the Matthews or the Voet book. 1 stars (OMG! A how to manual for a badly written book) - I needed to purchase this book for my graduate class in biochemistry. I found it to be NOT user friendly in the least. Most books I have used for biochemistry come with a great set of definitions. This book not only doesn't come with an appendix with definitions but doesn't explicitely define words in the text. I finally found the "definitions" appendix at the only website (how nice of them...and how cheap can you get. Most books if they have a website also have definitions in the back). I should also mention it does not have a thorough index. Major subjects are neither defined nor shown in the index. Several times I had to go to either my organic chem book (Morrison & Boyd...great book), the Lippencotes (spelling) biochemistry review text (also a great concise book), or my under graduate biochemistry book (and study guide. Garrett and Grisham) to find information due to either the lack of information in this book or difficulty in finding it. Also, the layout of the book is terrible. Although proteins are now THE significant phase of biochemistry, the introduction of DNA and mRNA in later portions of the book is rediculous. If you follow the basic flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to Protein it is much more easily understood. Throwing in the flow of genetic information at chapter 5 and later in chapter 27 discussing DNA replication, RNA synthesis and splicing (ch 28) and protein production (ch 29) makes no sense whatsoever. The order is correct but to place this information at the back of the book when it is necessary to un...

5 stars (An Excellent Guide!) - I am an old pro at project management who purchased this book to brush up my knowledge after a few years out of the IT PM game. The author is thorough and his tips are sound. This is probably not the best idea for a PM neophyte but if you are looking to improve your skills or dust off a few brain cells before taking on a big new project, I whole-heartedly recommend this book...a great read! 2 stars (Just OK) - I found this reference to be very thin on practical, useful advice. I've paid less for better. 5 stars ("THE" How to book for managing IT projects. Including Gov't) - This is the "how to" book for managing IT projects. As a project manager for a Big 5 system integrator working with the Government, this book is a must read. It helped to bring calamity to my day-to-day. This book helped to put an end to many sleepless nights. Jeremy has obviously put much thought into easily presenting this material to benefit the novice and the expert Project Manager a like. It's a small price to pay for a good night's sleep. ...
