Revision as of 08:57, 9 January 2012
This page attempts to give an overview of commonly used biochemistry textbooks, starting the with the most commonly used textbooks in biochemistry and cell biology over ebooks to freely available books online.
The classics
| short title | latest edition | ebook | $ price | € price | rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alberts | 2007 (5th) | $109 | $128 | 61€ | 4.5 (58) |
| Lodish | 2007 (6th) | no | $123 | 59€ | 4.5 (26) |

| Voet | 2010 (4th) | no | $169 | 59€ | 4 (53) |
| Lehninger | 2008 (5th) | no1 | $120 | 57€ | 4.5 (39) |
| short | latest | ebook | $ [] | € [] | rating |
Prices are approximate and were looked up on amazon.com and amazon.de in December 2011.
Ratings are amazon average star rating; the best score is 5; the number of reviews averaged is in brackets.
1 Lehninger & eBook [1] gives the probably false impression that an ebook is included [2]
eBooks
To date, none of the major textbooks (see above) are not available as ebooks presumable because of fear of illegal copying. A few smaller textbooks and guides can be read electronically (see below). In addition, many specialised or lesser known books are available as ebooks (search for biochemistry on amazon.com or amazon.de).
| title | latest edition | format | € price | rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molecular and Cell Biology For Dummies | 2009 | Kindle | 11€ | 4.5 (11) |
| Biochemistry For Dummies | 2011 (2nd) | Kindle | 13€ | 3 (2!) |
| Biochemistry Study Guide (Mobi) | 2006 | Kindle | 16€ | 5 (1!!) |
| Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry | 2009 (28th) | Kindle | 33€ | 3.5 (6) |
| title | latest | format | € | rating |
Prices are approximate and were looked up on amazon.com and amazon.de in December 2011.
Ratings are amazon average star rating; the best score is 5; the number of reviews averaged is in brackets.
Principles of Biology
Over 50 undergraduate instructors, artists, researchers, and journalists are composing a new digitial only textbook called Principles of Biology. The project is a collaboration of the Nature Publishing Group who provide editorial experience and faculty members of the California State University who review the material and advise the project [3]. The book was announced to be ready for internal CSU review by September 2011 [4]. Engadget has some screenshots.
