5.0 out of 5 stars A must for biology undergraduates., 3 Dec 2005
By A Customer
A really good textbook for all undergraduate biology and biochemistry students. One of the only books I consistently used throughout my course. I am now a teacher, and often use it to help bridge the gap for my students between A levels and university. It is very clear and the diagrams are excellent. If I were a student considering buying this book, I am not sure that I would spend the extra money on buying the latest edition. It costs enough to go to university as it is! If you do buy it used though, make sure it's in good condition as it will be well used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please write a fourth edition!!, 15 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This book is the most lucid and well-written account of molecular biology currently available. The first chapter introduces the reader to the components of the cell in the context of how they may have evolved from life's primordial soup, an approach which fosters an understanding of cell biology rather than just a rote presentation. This theme of placing the cellular machinery in its evolutionary context is maintained throughout the clearly written text.

I owe my entire knowledge of genetics and molecular biology to this book (and not to my often incomprehensible lecturers). However, a fourth edition is long overdue.

By Massimiliano Carlesi (Pistoia, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Molecular Biology of the Cell (Paperback)
The book is very good.It is exaustive and the language in it is easy understandable even by non-english speakers.Images,schemes and photographs are very accurate and,therefore,very useful.The book can be used for preparation of any biology exam in your university career.It is a needful book for your first biology exam and for further study in matter of biology.I suggest this book to all medical students and to all people who want to master an upper level of biology.
