{"product_id":"9780132391153","title":"Practical Skills in Biomolecular Sciences","description":"Laboratory and field studies are essential components of undergraduate training in the life sciences. Practical work must be fully understood and effectively presented, but many students under-perform because they lack basic laboratory skills. This book, now in its second edition, continues to provide students with easy-to-use guidance for laboratory and field studies, but in addition it now covers broader transferable skills. As a result the new edition provides guidance and support over the entire range of a typical undergraduate courses in biomolecular sciences.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew features for the second edition\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eA new section at the front of the book on Study and Examination skills, including new chapters on time management, working with others, note taking, revising, assessment and exams, and preparing a \u003ci\u003ecv.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew chapters on bioinformatics and on the preparation and use of calibration curves. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUpdated material on the use of the Internet and World Wide Web. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew material on evaluating information ' a vital skill for today's students. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew material in the numeracy and statistics chapters to provide greater support and guidance. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEvery chapter has study exercises to reinforce learning with problems and practical exercises.
