Editorial Reviews:
|
"The epitome of what a current upper level textbook in cell biology should be". -- Quarterly Review of Biology "Accessible and relatively easy to read....timely and accurate.... profusely and beautifully illustrated". -- American Society for Microbiology News "A reliable, accurate and up-to-date textbook for which students and researchers must be grateful". -- Trends in Biochemical Sciences "The standard against which other scientific textbooks will be measured". -- Biochemical Education Now generously illustrated in full color and featuring many new panels, drawings, and diagrams, the Third Edition is completely reorganized to reflect new discoveries, new emphases, and new approaches. It covers major advances in signal transduction, intracellular protein sorting, gene regulation, control of cell division, and developmental biology. The biology of plants and the nervous system are integrated into the main text. The Third Edition also extensively updates coverage of immunology and cancer, and adds two new chapters that examine recombinant DNA techniques and proteins as machines.

Summary: A Great Book
Comment: I like to read textbooks (a bit strange, I know...)
I purchased this one about a week ago. I have read it almost every night since then. It's an incredibly detailed tour through the workings of the cell, with good illustrations and lucid explanations. Some background in chemistry and biology is assumed, but not as much as you might think - if you can pick things up quickly, you will have no problems even without a detailed knowledge of those areas. It has an overview of lab methods too, which is interesting.
My only gripe is that the CD is stuck in the middle of the book, instead of in the back, which is a rather awkward arrangement. I took it out and put it in a case of its own. For the price, though, you'd think they could have put it in a plastic envelope in the back.
Anyway, put it on your reading list, you won't regret it.

Summary: Molecular Biology of the Cell
Comment: I will not purchase again from Amazon.com. The book was promised on a specific date before purchase to reel me in, but after the credit card transaction they extended the date for a month after what was promised.
After that additional period that amazon gave itself at my expense, the book still wasn't shipped. Two weeks later I recieved an e-mail & this review survey, but still no book. BUYER BE WARE!

Summary: Amazing Book!!!!!!
Comment: This book is so clear and full of good information. I use it as a reference book for classes. It goes into great detail but not overly so. I recommend this book to any cellular/molecular biology student or faculty.
