From the reviews of the previous editions: 'This book deserves a place in any modern pathology department and brings together a body of information which is traditionally scattered across several texts ... it also represents excellent value for money.' Annals of Clinical Biochemistry
'The book is well illustrated, indexed, free of errors and most chapters have problem sets with worked answers. The book is written for 'all bioscience undergraduate students and pre-medical students for whom practical biochemistry, molecular biology and immunology for part of the syllabus' ... it is a very good supplement for undergraduate courses in general biochemistry or a text for courses in biochemical techniques. Principles and Techniques of Practical Biochemistry is also recommended for graduate students and other researchers in applied sciences such as food biochemistry.' Journal of Food Biochemistry
'... well-written and comprehensive ... what truly distinguishes this text from others of its kind, are the outstanding chapters on proteins, mass spectrometry and spectroscopic techniques. ... a valuable resource for undergraduate or graduate students taking introductory or advanced techniques/laboratory courses in cell/molecular biology, biochemistry or biotechnology.' Microbiology Today
'This is a well-written and comprehensive introduction to the theory underlying the techniques, equipment and methods used in modern biochemistry and molecular biology. ... what truly distinguishes this text from others of its kind, are the outstanding chapters on proteins, mass spectrometry and spectroscopic techniques. ... This textbook would be a valuable resource for undergraduate or graduate students taking introductory or advanced techniques/laboratory courses in cell/molecular biology biochemistry or biotechnology.' Society for General Microbiology
'I found this volume remarkably satisfying in that it answered all those 'why do you do it like this?' type questions. ... This book has already received extensive reference value on my bookshelf.' Journal of Biological Education
