Reviews
"For cell and molecular biologists, this series of books have become the absolute reference bible both in the laboratory and in the classroom. Previous editions have demonstrated how well authors and editors amalgamated, condensed, and summarized the huge area of cell biology into readily accessible bytes of information. This third edition does not deviate from this ethic and enthralls the reader with a mind-boggling 731 pages of essential cell biology." The Biochemist Praise of the Second Edition: 'This book fills a critical niche in the pedagogical process of introducing cell biology and does an excellent job in reaching its objective.' The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 79 '...an excellent example of designing a textbook for undergraduates and non-biology majors. It is clear, well illustrated, conversational in tone and enjoyable to read and browse through.' E-Streams 'The second edition retains all the beauty of the first, and it serves as an editorial model -- a guide that shows us how serious authors prepare a new version of a serious book. ...What makes for a great science education is not the amassing of facts but the understanding of concepts, processes and syntheses, and the realization that all our information about nature must be subject to testing and revision. That is the kind of educational experience that students can acquire from the second edition of Essential Cell Biology.'  The Textbook Letter, Praise of the Second Edition:"This book fills a critical niche in the pedagogical process of introducing cell biology and does an excellent job in reaching its objective." -- The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 79"...an excellent example of designing a textbook for undergraduates and non-biology majors.

Table Of Content
Essential Cell Biology , Second Edition contains basic, core knowledge about how cells work. It has a proven track record in providing students with a conceptual and accessible grounding in cell biology. The text and figures have been prepared to be easy-to-follow, accurate, clear and engaging for the introductory student. Each section follows logically from the previous one, telling a story, rather than being a collection of facts. Questions integrated throughout each chapter encourage the reader to pause, think about what they have read, and attempt to apply the new knowledge in ways that test their understanding. Based on user feedback, the Second Edition now offers increased coverage of genetics and more experimental background. It is completely up-to-date.
Synopsis
Cell biology is taught in classrooms around the world to provide students with a firm conceptual grounding in biology. This text provides basic, core knowledge about how cells work and uses colour images and diagrams to emphasize concepts and aid understanding., Essential Cell Biology provides an accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of cell biology. Its lively writing and exceptional illustrations make it the ideal textbook for a first course in cell and molecular biology. The text and figures are easy-to-follow, accurate, clear, and engaging for the introductory student. Molecular detail has been kept to a minimum in order to provide the reader with a cohesive, conceptual framework of the basic science that underlies our current understanding of biology.The Third Edition is thoroughly updated scientifically, yet maintains the academic level and size of the previous edition. The book is accompanied by a Media DVD-ROM with over 130 animations and videos, all the figures from the book, and a new self-test quizzing feature for students.
