Review
"Fundamental Molecular Biology is pleasingly up to date in this rapidly advancing field, and its combination of history, relevance and technical detail makes it an attractive book for lecturers and their students." (Times Higher Education Supplement)

Review
"Fundamental Molecular Biology by Lizabeth Allison is a clearly written, engaging text that provides an excellent introduction to the field of molecular biology. With numerous well–conceived diagrams and examples of real life applications, Allison′s text will be appreciated by students and instructors alike."
–Daniel P. Herman, University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire
–Daniel P. Herman, University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire
"Lizabeth Allison′s examination of molecular biology flows like a novel, which should qualify her as a non–fiction story–teller. She has mastered the art of explaining difficult concepts in a simplified and understandable manner, making this knowledge more accessible and non–threatening to students of all levels. Gems like the historical perspectives, focus boxes, and disease boxes add even more interest to this already well–written textbook."
–Hao Nguyen, California State University, Sacramento

Excellent Textbook!

I used this book in an undergraduate molecular biology course and must say it is the best science text I have ever used. It is digestible even if you have a limited biology/chemistry background--far easier to read than the authoritative Alberts et al. text. Allison provides superb figures and includes interesting "disease boxes" throughout which describe ailments caused by genetic defects. She also does a good job of highlighting important points, while simultaneously providing very detailed explanations. This book is really well written, I definitely recommend it!

Not the best molecular biology book out there

I took a molecular biology course with this text book, and did not like this book at all. The book goes into much detail at some parts such as the specific types of co-factors and co-enzyme names, without devoting to explaining what the general material. If this is your first molecular bio class, I would stay away from this book. It is not only intimidating to approach, but confusing to read.
