Customer Reviews

Excellent

This is an excellent and balanced overview of cell motility and the cytoskeleton.Thankfully there is a sense of perspective applied to the material, and the reader is spared the gory details of every last molecule or putative signalling pathway. There are copious elegant photomicrographs and line drawings.It is a pleasure to read.

cell motility in a nutshell

This is an introductory text to the field of cell motility and the cytoskeleton. It is written so that anyone who has taken some basic undergrad courses in biology should be able to pick it up and start learning. Because it is more of an introduction than an in-depth review of the entire field, it is mostly useful for getting a general idea of what is known and not known in cell biology, without going into excessive detail. The book is well written and fun to read, with tons of illustrations.
