There is no standard book that can be listed for Architecture. It depends on the particular course that you take and the professor who handles the course.We suggest you to bring architectural instruments like pencils, cutters and cutter blades, set square, parallel for drafting and other instruments you feel you might require for model making and drawing. These things are very costly here.

1) Architectural Research Methods. Authors: Linda Groat and David Wang Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, INC. Cost: $ 48.00 (You can get the book from the senior students for a lesser price or at rent).

Subject: Performing Architectural Research and Discussion of Different Research Strategies.

Scope: The aim of this book is to provide an introductory guide for anyone wishing to conduct research on an aspect of the built environment-from a building component to a room, a building, a neighborhood, or an urban center. Course/Rating: "Research Methods". The book is compulsory for the course. If you are a book worm and you need one for your own then buy it (http://www.amazon.com/Architectural-Research-Methods-Linda-Groat/)

3) Post – Occupancy Evaluation. Authors: Wolfgang F.E. Preiser, Harvey Z. Rabinowitz, Edward T. White. Publisher: Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York Cost: Furnished by Professor. (You can get the book from the senior students for a lesser price or at rent).

Subject: This book is about the assessment of building performances through Post-Occupancy Evaluation, or POE. Post-Occupancy Evaluation is a phrase in the building process that follows the sequence of planning, programming and design, construction and occupancy of a building.

Course/Rating: "Facilities Evaluation and Planning". The book is compulsory for the course.

4) Sustainable Architecture WHITE PAPERS. (Earth Pledge Foundation Series on Sustainable Development) Editors: David E. Brown, Mindy Fox, Mary Rickel Pelletier.

Subject: A remarkable collection of vibrant and diverse readings, Sustainable Architecture White Papers explores the critical link between our built and natural environments.

Course/Rating: "Energy + Shelter". The book is compulsory for the course. If you are a book worm and you need one for your own then buy it (http://www.amazon.com/Sustainable-Architecture-Papers-Foundation-Development/)

5) Urban Planning and Design in general. Author: Get any related books on Urban Planning and Design topics if you have already and do not buy. (Just for references)

Publisher: Professor himself. He had compiled the required content from different source material and books.

Cost: Reprints of material furnished at cost of printing. (You can get the book from the senior students for a lesser price or at rent).

Note:- Course Numbers CIE 591, 592, 593, 597 are the required core courses so try to get text books for these subjects. The remaining subjects are electives, so you may want to decide upon taking those courses or not after coming here. If the textbooks for the electives are available in India and if you would want to take those courses then you can buy those too. Also limited copies of each of these above mentioned textbooks are available in the University library for reference. It will be a good idea to get textbooks from India, as they are reasonable there compared to the prices out here.

All books for Environmental Engineering are better bought here as most of the books required are not available in India.

MICROBIOLOGY

The Microbiology department does not recommend any specific texts for their core courses. Any texts that the students have been using in India for their MS/BS should be brought along for reference. Any cell and molecular biology texts are also useful.

Cell and Molecular Immunology by Abul Abbas, Lichtman and Pober.
Immunology by Roitt

BIOMEDICAL PROGRAM

Usually, students admitted to Biomedical program are sent the list of books recommended for the first year.

Biochemistry by Mathews, Van Holde and Ahern is one of the books.

Other recommended book has been changing every year.

CORE COURSES

The following textbooks are available in the US, however, if desired you may purchase them in India based on their availability in India:

BCH 503 BIOCHEMICAL PRINCIPLES Biochemistry, 3rd Edition, by Mathews and van Holde.

Lehninger's Principles of Biochemistry (IV Edition)

Applications of Molecular Biotechnology by Glick & Pasternak.

MT 522 BIOMOLECULAR TECHNOLOGY AND DIAGNOSIS Molecular Diagnostics for the Clinical Laboratorian by W.Coleman and G.Tsongalis.

Lecture notes provided are adequate for the following courses (ie no textbook is required for an A grade in the exam, unless individual holds special interests in the following courses):

MT 515 LABORATORY MANAGEMENT

MT 517 LABORATORY EDUCATION

STA 527 STATISTICS FOR THE BIOLOGICAL AND MEDICAL SCIENCES

Lecture notes must be purchased (critical from the exam point of view) for the following courses:

BCH 503 BIOCHEMICAL PRINCIPLES
MT 501 METHODS OF ANALYSIS
MT 505 METHOD EVALUATION AND COMPARISON

Biochemistry by Mathews and Van Holde in the 1st sem
The other books are manageable and keep changing.

The Department of Pharmaceutical sciences, in general recommend the current literature that is posted on UB learns (internal link) for different courses as the semester moves on. Some professors do recommend the text books (Pharmacokinetics by Gibaldi & Perrier for PHC 607 course). The textbooks are different from the ones that students refer back home as the course is specialized in PK/PD. New students coming for M.S or PhD. are recommended to get any of the PK texts they have, viz. Gibaldi, Rowland and Towzer. The students can get any pharmacology textbooks they have been using in India for their B. Pharm/ M/Pharm. for reference.

The first semester of IGPBS needs the following-

BMS 503 (Biochemistry)- Biochemistry by Matthews, Van Holde and Ahern

BMS 501 (Cell Biology) - Molecular Biology of the Cell by Bruce Alberts

Those are the only two courses that actually require/ prescribe books
in the first semester.
Later on, the books really depend on what electives you take.
