Working with Molecular Cell Biology: Student Comapnion and Solutions Manual

By Matt Phelan

Book Overview

This is an authoritative and comprehensive vision of molecular cell biology. Advances in our knowledge of how cells work have driven the discipline to the point where we understand the cell at new levels of complexity such as larger signalling complexes in cells, and cells interacting with other cells. To present this new view of molecular cell biology and the accompanying advances in experimental technology, the fifth edition shows exciting developments in cell birth, lineage and death expanded coverage of signalling systems within the whole cell/organism and expanded coverage of metabolism and movement of lipids. In addition, new pedagogy includes research questions by looking at real experimental data in analysing the data problems and updated perspectives for the future at the end of each chapter, which explore potential applications of future discoveries and unanswered questions that lie ahead for researchers. classic experiments covering groundbreaking molecular cell biology experiments to enhance student learning. For instructors there are PowerPoint images from the text solutions and a test bank. Other supplements include an instructor's CD-ROM containing all text images, a conversion guide from the 4th edition test, bank animations and videos, and overhead transparencies. And for students there is the Working with Molecular Cell Biology, Fifth Edition: A Study Companion and Solutions Manual. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Excellent but starting to get outdated

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being now ~3 years old and due to the intense output and growth of scientific literature this book is starting to get outdated.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...

A must-have!

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.

Comprehensive introduction

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...

Best Book on Cell Biology at the Molecular Level!

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.

Clearly the best i've ever read!

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...
