Based on the Second Edition of Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach, Marks' Essentials of Medical Biochemistry has been streamlined to focus on only the most essential biochemical concepts important to medical students. The authors present facts and pathways to emphasize how the underlying biochemistry is related to the body's overall physiological functions. This text presents patients to the students as the biochemistry is being discussed, which strengthens the link between biochemistry and medicine and allows the student to learn about this interaction as the biochemistry is presented. Each chapter includes clinical and biochemical notes and comments, questions and answers to encourage further thinking, and suggested references for those who would like to pursue a particular topic in more depth.

Poetry. Michael Lieberman's Frank Goldin is, by his own judgement, insane. He's a biochemist by profession, a husband, now a hospital patient, an entertainer of visions... In this brilliant book of linked poems, dualities are described and suffered as 'the soul of the poet mediates the transactions of our life on this earth' while 'caught in the disorienting whirls in which order can be glimpsed.' Science and art teach us to love the questions, as Rilke noted. Lieberman's Goldin asks and asks in a language we love, rich as his name (Hilda Raz, author of DIVINE HONORS). Michael Lieberman, author of the poetry volume A HISTORY OF THE SWEETNESS OF THE WORLD, is a research physician who chairs the Department of Pathology at Baylor College of Medicine.

In this savage yet beautiful book length poem Michael Lieberman captures the rage of men in modern society. He reimagines the characters of Homer's Iliad, recasts them, and sets them in conflict in today's Houston. Unflinching is its descriptions of violence, The Houstiliad implicitly contrasts the rage of Homer's Achilles which was specific and focused with the free-floating rage of contemporary men. Though unsparing in its descriptions, Lieberman's portrait is leavened by lovely lyric passages, reflection, and humor. For those who care about the complicated role of men in modern society this book is revelatory without promising an easy path to redemption or honor. Achilles' wrath is where our tale begins then spools out venom and men's mortal sins. It's tempered true yet riffs on Homer's style, suffused with guile, grit, and mordant wile. * * * Men savage men in violent travails though in the end it's humor that prevails.

Michael Lieberman’s Some Dark Fire, New and Selected Poems is a generous sampling of an exceptional poet’s mature work, written over almost thirty years—since Lieberman moved to Houston in 1988. His poems offer a perspective on our world that is in turn celebratory, somber, joyous, dark, tender, and, most of all, doubt-plagued. He offers no easy answers, but his questions will enrich and reward the reader. This deeply felt book is the work of a gifted poet and research physician at the height of his powers. Lucky Every heart conceals a few small secrets or, if full of amplitude and plenty, large ones.      I begin with a green bough, forsythia— supple and yellow with flower.      I end there—not because I am impoverished, but because I have it all.

Some Dark Fire: New and Selected Poems

Our inner lives can be exultant…that's the good news. Muster your courage and find out more. The unconscious is unruly, and the stories it constructs are more unruly still. In writing "The Life Within Us," I have allowed it free rein. Hence these stories careen wildly: They veer from a confrontation at the Stella Maris Hotel in Trieste to a surreal encounter with a seductive cyber-waif. We get a look at the mysterious Widow Fulsomgame and Jaap van Holde’s fateful encounter with destiny while sailing the Flying Dutchman. Holly Fennell talks about her friend Andras Landau, who escaped during the Hungarian Revolution to self-exile in Miami. Curious to meet a guy who thinks "Beethoven’s Choral" Fantasy is the foothills of grandeur? Voices, dozens of them, cavort with the muse and frolic with a warlock in the dark brew of the unconscious.

A History of the Sweetness of the World compels us to consider the world we live in. Michael Lieberman is a physician-poet who, from the vantage of middle age, has given us a book that celebrates and savors even as it documents loss and judges.The pace of American life in the nineties has left us frayed. We live in a divided and divisive world with little time to heal it or ourselves. This book challenges us to heal by locating the sweet and the bitter-sweet even as we recognize the bitter. The poet "would get down on his hands and knees and thank God for color vision," even as he despairs of having "brailleless beggars in the streets."This is a book about sweetness in which poems have titles like "Loss" and "Regret" as well as "Lucky." The book also contains poems that are mysterious, that cannot be grasped in a simple way: "Extraction" and "Eleven Views of the Bayou at Chimney Rock" with its quiet homage to Paul Celan can only be experienced. Like the world itself there is no rational, logical summary of these poems. The poems in this collection are written about our world—our only world—and the only way we can heal it or ourselves is to be fully present. To experience it completely, we must step back from it. We are fortunate to have these poems to help us.
