Biotechnology Flashcard Quicklet: Flashcards in a Book for Biotechnology Students

Dr. Paul Sanghera, the best selling author of several books in science and technology, offers a taste of the discipline of biotechnology by presenting more than 325 flashcards in this easily portable book. Primarily designed to be used with your textbook, this book is also a quick introduction to (or overview of) biotechnology. Although the book is self contained within its scope, it assumes that you have already studied the material from a textbook on biotechnology, and use this book as a quick review and reference. Special features: *Most of the essential concepts, terms, formulae, and techniques are covered. *The depth and style of the coverage makes these flashcards indexes into your memory so that if you go through these flash cards after reading a textbook, it's almost equivalent to going through the textbook once again, only in much less time. *The flashcards are largely self-contained and no reference to any other book is made. This means these cards work with any book and independent of any book. * These flashcards come in a book, not in a box of loose cards; so these are much easier to manage than those loose cards. No more loose cards, no more lost cards. *This book is designed as a convenient and portable reference for on-the-go studying. You can take it anywhere and use it when a time window becomes available.

5A Quick Gateway To Biotechnology  Dec 24, 2008
By Maxim
This book defines the basic concepts in biotechnology from scratch in a very logical and cohesive way. The coverage is quite comprehensive for students who are entering the field of biotechnology.Of course it's a flash cards book and is not a substitute for a textbook; but it can be a great companion to a textbook. This is true in any field: the basic concepts are necessary to learn,even though just learning basic concepts will not get you a degree but without learning the basic concepts will not get you a degree either...Whether you are an associate degree student or a Master degree student, you do need to learn the basics...and this book in my opinion does a pretty good job in defining the basic concepts in biotechnology at one place. Its importance even increases in the current environment where instructors use a lots of different books in an introductory biotechnology course...It's an excellent companion to a textbook (or books) used in a biotechnology course and a very good reference for basic concepts in biotechnology...
Highly recommended...

5A Quick Excellent Review and Overview of Biotechnology  Jul 29, 2008
By The Biotech Expert
I love this book, as it is an excellent review and overview of basic concepts in biotechnology. I also like the idea of flash cards in a book. It serves the same purpose as the flash cards, but I don't have to worry about losing them. All essential concepts are explained from scratch in a self-contained manner. These flash cards are not dependent on any book; so you can use them with any of your text books or without a text book. This book is useful for anyone who is interested in biotechnology and also for the students of biochemistry and biotechnology. For a beginner, it's a good quick introduction to biotechnology and for an experienced professional it's a good reference for important basi concepts.
The topics covered include: Science of Biotechnology, Introduction to Biotechnology, Raw Materials for Biomanufacturing, Preparing Solutions, Introduction to Genetics, Proteins in Biotechnology, Biotechnology Products, Tools and Techniques of Biotechnology, Plant and Agricultural Biotechnology, and Biotechnology of DNA.
I recommend this book highly.

1Introductory level  Nov 25, 2008
By Angela McLaughlin
This set of flashcards are for student at an introductory level. This was not beneficial in any form or fashion for my level of education, associates degree in Biotechnology. I shared this with my instructors and they felt the same way. They will not recommend this for their associate students, but would recommend for their introductory students.
