5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 9 Sep 2002
Quite simply, this book is a must for any undergraduate students of the biological sciences. The breadth and depth of subjects covered within this book is unparalleled. It's also bang-up-to-date.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to molecular and cellular biology, 16 Jan 2006
By Nick Adams (Hertfordshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC) (4th Ed) provides a definitive overview of a myriad of cellular and molecular techniques, encompassing a wide topic range including developmental systems, cancer and cellular construction. Alberts provides a comprehensive fundamental groundwork in the earlier chapters leading on to more advanced approaches and techniques, using clear and concise phrasing juxtaposed with simplistic and easy-to-follow diagrams reinforcing the ideas purveyed.

The book was recommended as a core text to supplement my Molecular Biology degree and provides a significant, if in some areas slightly basic in content, scope of topics which have extended well beyond the first year. MBoC establishes a great deal of the practical application of techniques and theory in cell biology, bringing out the scientific importance of what’s taking place. The editors also provide modest historical components to topics under discussion, providing the reader with a sense of the background to cell biology discoveries.
While the text is a highly useful tool in cellular molecular biology, one of its great uses is the provision of a framework on which to review primary literature, like journal articles, which ultimately give a more up-to-the minute view of molecular cell biology.
While many topics discussed are advanced, the writing style, illustrations and supporting CD-ROM material makes MBoC easy to follow and a worthwhile investment for anyone with an interest in molecular cell biology, particularly those progressing from A-Levels to degree studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you really need, 6 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I have just finished my BSc Biology and this is the only textbook which was consistently useful throughout all three years of my degree. Invaluable for tutorials, revision and short assignments and a great starting point for most biology/biochemistry essays. The text is clear and concise and the illustrations are amazingly helpful. Get it from Amazon though; lugging it home from the bookshop will do your back in.
