Based on the authors' years of experience teaching graduate, undergraduate, and professional courses, this comprehensive introduction caters to the specific needs of researchers and students who must familiarize themselves rapidly with core concepts, principles, and theories.
Students are afforded a unique opportunity to arrive at a full understanding of important current and pending achievements in the field, without having to wade through extraneous technical details and lengthy theoretical discussions more appropriate to a lab manual or specialized text.
It is also an excellent selection for technicians and related professionals who want to review modern aspects of biochemistry in a concise format. Berg,Gregory J. Gatto, Jr. The focus of the 4th edition has been around: Integrated Text and Media with the NEW SaplingPlus Paired for the first time with SaplingPlus, the most innovative digital solution for biochemistry students. Media-rich resources have been developed to support students' ability to visualize and understand individual and complex biochemistry concepts.

As humans, we are adept learning machines. Long before a baby learns that she can change a sheet of paper by crumpling it, she is absorbing vast amounts of information. This learning continues throughout life in myriad ways: learning to ride a bike and to take social cues from friends; learning to drive a car and balance a checkbook; learning to solve a quadratic equation and to interpret a work of art.
Of course, much of learning is necessary for survival, and even the simplest organisms learn to avoid danger and recognize food. However, humans are especially gifted in that we also acquire skills and knowledge to make our lives richer and more meaningful. Many students would agree that reading novels and watching movies enhance the quality of our lives because we can expand our horizons by vicariously being in situations we would never experience, reacting sympathetically or unsympathetically to characters who remind us of ourselves or are very different from anyone we have ever known.
Strangely, at least to us as science professors, science courses are rarely thought of as being enriching or insightful into the human condition. Larry Gould, a former president of Carleton College, was also a geologist and an Arctic explorer. As a scientist, teacher, and administrator, he was very interested in science education especially as it related to other disciplines. They are not mutually exclusive disciplines but they are independent and overlapping.
The ultimate goal of all scientific endeavors is to develop a deeper, richer understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live.
