A TEXT WITH ADDITIONAL ATTRACTIVENESS   2008-08-22
By Dr. Gentil A. Estevez (San Germán, Puerto Rico)
PHYSICS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, by Professor Paul Davidovits, is an expository masterpiece of admirable didactic value, which has gained additional attractiveness through the myriad of improvements made in the third edition. Reading PHYSICS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, Third Edition,I have been thoroughly impressed by Professor Davidovits scholarly depth and persuasive sincerity. Moreover, his uncanny ability to communicate difficult concepts in surprisingly accessible and yet technically accurate language is certainly rare. The book reviewed here can be profitably employed as a faithful companion to the regular text adopted by any instructor, for a one-year course of general physics to biology and premed students.
