Textbook Review

The textbook was conceptually very sound. I thought it did a good job of explaining all aspects of the technology it described. I would not recommend this book for use in a freshman seminar class because it expounds on concepts relative to upper level biology and chemistry that are extremely frustrating even to those who are science majors. It is just hard to see a big picture when significant chunks are missing. I also do not like the diagrams in this book. The pictures are of course all the same colors and the detail is so vague that they do not do justice to the amazing bionanomachines they depict. Overall, Dr. Goodsell's book was very informative and opened my eyes toward the field of bionanotechnology.
