5 out of 5 stars Best Book on Cell Biology at the Molecular Level!   July 8, 1999
38 out of 41 found this review helpful

An excellent textbook with a very clear writing style. Includes excellent diagrams and photographs to illustrate the text. The best of the lot. Personally, I would put this book well ahead of the similar book by Bruce Alberts et al., for its clarity and bredth of coverage.

This book is an essential tool for both students and professionals that need to broaden their knowledge in molecular cell biology. It provides the fundamental concepts and contains high quality illustrations/graphics. The CD-ROM is also a valuable tool that one can have as it contains basically the book itself.


5 out of 5 stars Clearly the best i've ever read!   October 15, 1997

This book gives the average biology (or non-biology) student not only an overview of cell-biology, but gives in-depth information on nearly any subject regarding this matter.

It easy to read, starts on the basics before explaining complicated matters and it got the BEST illustrations i have ever seen in such a book!

My opinion is, that anyone only remotely scientifically interested in the subject of cell-biology should get this book!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent but starting to get outdated   March 5, 2005

Excellent. Hands down the best book out there for cell biology. Gives a thorough look at the exciting unraveling of the cell. Figures are exceptional. However, being now ~3 years old and due to the intense output and growth of scientific literature this book is starting to get outdated. There have been several advances in a number of transport systems (i.e. Nuclear transport and regulation of gene expression). A new edition in the next year or so would hopefully address these issues.


5 out of 5 stars Comprehensive introduction   September 6, 1999
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

I can only agree with the other reviewers. The explanations are detailed enough to get an idea of the amazing processes that occur at the molecular level. All necessary concepts are covered in the text; a biological background is not required. The growing importance of biotechnology in modern society makes this book required reading for anybody who wants to form a well informed opinion on the power and promises of this modern science.
