Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry


This is a medium-sized heavyweight classic, updated, honest and useful for physicians. The authors do not make a fuss about the wealth of data available in biochemistry, keep a cool attitude overall and somehow manage to inspire lay readers. Physicians benefit from it a lot, since the dreaded detail of molecular pathology is described at an amazing level of medical awareness and even clinical relevance. Molecular models are clear enough for the busy practitioner who has little if any real interest in the arcane wireframes of those nevertheless current substances involved in prescriptions. The print is fine, and readable, the pagesetting is minimalist but useful, and the index is workable. As for the biochemical material, in the original text of Lehninger, everything has been carefully updated, in order not to spoil the reader with the usual Big Pharma nonsense. Incredible as it may sound this is an independent book even in the Age of Virtual News. Highly Reccommended. In conclusion, here we have a book we will not buy for the beauty of our reference desk, even in the age of the instant reference.

Natural Dyes

Natural dyes come from many parts of plants: roots, leaves, bark,
fruits.The dye sources in the ancient world included such plants
as madder for red, saffron and weld for yellow, woad for blue.
The bark of oak outer shells of fresh walnuts,pomegranate flowers,
dyer's bugloss were among others used.Gall-nuts, woody swellings
caused by attack of gallflies, presumably on the Lusitanian oak
later provided both a dye (brown, gray,and black)
and a mordant in the form of a tannin.
