Product Description
Ever since James Watson and Francis Crick proposed their double-helical structure of DNA in 1953, biology has been in the throes of a revolution in knowledge at the molecular level. This Schaum's Outline was written to help bring order and understanding to this rapidly expanding field. As a succinct overview of the subject, it will supplement any molecular biology course or provide the foundation needed for advanced courses. The text material is presented in a question and answer format; each concept is explained as an answer to a specific question. At the end of each chapter are objective questions of several kinds; multiple choice, true-false, fill-ins, and matching. These objective questions can be used to evaluate the extent to which the text material has been mastered, while also preparing the student for this kind of examination format.

 SCHAUM'S OUTLINES MOLECULAR AND CELL BIOLOGY April 23, 2000

I consider molecular and cell biology an excellent review book for people who want an introduction of the field. Also it can help readers who want to refresh their knowledge. It is well organized, in fourteen different chapters, with multilple review questions and answers in each of them. I found the coverage of each chapter comprehensive. Objective questions at the end of each chapter helped to assess your level of understanding. I certainly recommend this book to people who study biological related sciences.
an excellent introduction October 15, 2007

I am a Macromolecular crystallographer and have never formally attended any courses on molecular biology or biochemistry. I find these Schaum series books to be very useful. They are very concise, and provide all the information one needs to achieve a good understanding of the basic concepts and terminology. Another advantage is that they are paperbacks and easier to read compared to the heavier and more detailed texts like Stryer or Lehninger.
definitely worth 10 dollars December 11, 2007

This guide contains details about biology that are concise and at least as good as, if not more detailed than 2+ years of introductory biology courses. Though not an introductory guide, an excellent resource.

I bought this book in a bundle with two other Schaum's Outlines: one in Biochemistry and one in Genetics. I had intended to use them as a review in preparation for the Biochemistry, Molecular, and Cell Biology Subject GRE. I have been sorely disappointed. First of all, this book is out of date. It was written in 1996 and the field of molecular biology has transformed in multiple ways over the past 13 years. I continually had to question some of the conclusions of the book across multiple chapters. More often than not I went back to my text books from undergrad to review the topics and what has changed. I eventually skipped chapters all together and just read those in my old textbooks. But not only is this book out of date, it is also poorly written. Topics don't flow, bullets are confusing. The general narative of the book is convoluted and confusing. I've finally moved on to the biochemistry book, and I'm starting to find the same issues. I am disappointed that I actually spent money on this book. Look for other reivews, or simply look at a textbook. This book is not worth it.
