Klappentext zu „Essential Cell Biology, w. DVD-ROM “
Essential Cell Biology provides an accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of cell biology. Its engaging writing and exceptional illustrations make it an easy-to-follow, clear textbook ideal for a first course in cell and molecular biology. 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.This Edition is thoroughly updated scientifically, yet maintains the academic level and size of the previous edition. The cell cycle and cell division chapters have been combined for greater efficiency. "How We Know" sections in every chapter introduce experimental science by explaining both the methods and scientific intuition of classical and current experiments. To promote active learning, each chapter includes questions in the margins that complement the text, and an additional set of questions conclude each chapter. Answers to all questionsare available at the back of the book. In addition to questions, each chapter ends with a review of essential concepts and key terms. The book is accompanied by a DVD with all the figures from the book, 130 animations and videos, and a self-test quizzing feature.

Rezension zu „Essential Cell Biology, w. DVD-ROM “
"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
