HONC if you love life! - By: Mouldy Ol'Crow, 19 Oct 2007 
I'm having a Tee-shirt made up with that motto. HONC being a mneumonic I foundin this book. I'm reading for a BSc (Hons)Herbal Medicine & am finding this book incredibly useful. I would recommend it to anyone who is a little shaky on biochemistry & prefers their information deliveredin English!

Fantastic !! - By: , 05 Feb 2005 
When i first saw this book i tought it would be a book for children but it isn't! It describes every constituents of medicinal plants & its structure. A very good book to understand a bit more of chemistry & fun to read. It requires a knowlowedge of chemistry (I am only 16 & understood it so it won't be hard to you). A very good reference & an encyclopedia of knowledge, buy it!
