Product Description
Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition is concise and accessible enough for a non-specialist to read and digest. Building on the success of the first edition the new text includes brand new "How We Know" sections in every chapter. They describe how experimental science is done and where knowledge came from. At every stage the student and lecturer are supported by ECB2 Interactive CD and the extensive ancillary package. Features: - The authors - known worldwide for their research , teaching, writing and leadership in science education. - The text - reflects the accuracy, authority and currency of the renowned Molecular Biology of the Cell , but written for newcomers to cell biology. - The art programme - emphasizes central concepts without unnecessary detail. - Questions interspersed throughout each chapter test students' understanding and stimulate curiosity (all questions answered in the back of the book). - Concept headings descriptively introduce each section. - Panels review techniques, principles, pathways and many more topics. - Highlighted key terms in text are listed at the end of each chapter. - Detailed, illustrated glossary expanded in this edition. - "Essential Concepts" review at the end of the chapter. - Detailed index makes everything quickly accessible. New to the Second Edition: - Brand new "How We Know" sections in every chapter describe how experimental science is done with classical and current experiments. - Two completely new chapters "How Genes and Genomes Evolve" and "Genetics, Meiosis and the Molecular Basis of Heredity". - New emphasis on a genomic approach throughout the text. - Contains more on topics of lively public interest, such as stem cells and cloning. - Consolidates molecular biology in contiguous chapters. - An improved and greatly expanded Essential Cell Biology 2 (ECB2) Interactive is included with every copy of the book. The CD-ROM contains videos, animations, molecular movies and high-resolution electron micrographs. Each chapter of the book concludes with a list of corresponding multimedia from ECB2 Interactive .

From the Back Cover
Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition contains basic, core knowledge about how cells work. It has a proven track record in providing students with a conceptual and accessible grounding in cell biology. The text and figures have been prepared to be easy-to-follow, accurate, clear and engaging for the introductory student. Each section follows logically from the previous one, telling a story, rather than being a collection of facts. Questions integrated throughout each chapter encourage the reader to pause, think about what they have read, and attempt to apply the new knowledge in ways that test their understanding. Based on user feedback, the Second Edition now offers increased coverage of genetics and more experimental background. It is completely up-to-date.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and concise, 24 April 2007 By  M. J. Grunwell (Bridlington, East Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    As an A level Biology teacher I bought this book to better teach the subject. It is very easy to read and the diagrams are very clear. It covers material in more detail than required for an A level student but would prove ideal for a first year biology or biochemistry course or any A level Biology teacher. It does what it says in the title covering most aspects of cell physiology, I particularly liked its clear treatment of DNA replication and basic biochemistry. The book comes with a CD Rom containing stills and short animations some of which are superb teaching material, I particularly enjoyed the ATPase movie. On the downside some of the CD Rom files seemed empty of content but that is my only gripe, overall a great book. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

There are many wonderful diagrams, but the CD reminds a student that cells are 3D, dynamic entities and not flat and lifeless on a page. A wonderful resource!

Hackett "hagthehippie" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I am scientifically literate, but I did not know much of what went on inside cells. I found this book to be clear, with plenty of examples and thought provoking questions. Also, its subject matter is just fascinating! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
