Biochemistry: Concepts and Connections, Global Edition + Mastering Chemistry with Pearson eText (Package)

For courses in biochemistry.
This package includes Pearson Mastering Chemistry.

Engage students in biochemistry visually and through real-world applications
Biochemistry: Concepts and Connections engages students with a unique approach to visualization, synthesis of complex topics, and connections to the real world. The author team builds quantitative reasoning skills and provides students with a rich, chemical perspective on biological processes. The text emphasizes fundamental concepts and connections, showing how biochemistry relates to practical applications in medicine, agricultural sciences, environmental sciences, and forensics.

The newly revised 2nd Edition integrates even more robust biochemistry-specific content in Pearson Mastering^™ Chemistry, creating an interactive experience for today's students. New Threshold Concept Tutorials help students master the most challenging and critical ideas in biochemistry, while Interactive Case Studies connect course material to the real world by having students explore actual scientific data from primary literature.

Reach every student by pairing this text with Pearson Mastering Chemistry
Pearson Mastering Chemistry is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools developed to engage students and emulate the office-hour experience, Mastering personalizes learning and often improves results for each student.
