by Dr. Rod O'Connor and Dr. Tom Taylor with illustrations by Paul Gleen

I became aware of this book in 2006 while my niece was taking biochemistry at my alumni mater, Texas A&M.  Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Keeney-Kennicutt for helping to keep this valuable out-of-print work from disappearing into obscurity, this pdf format (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view) is available for folks to read and help to plan their time in college.  I encourage anyone taking college courses to give this a read, as it helps to keep things in perspective and move closer to the goal (graduation).
