Product Description
This is an authoritative and comprehensive vision of molecular cell biology. Advances in our knowledge of how cells work has driven the discipline to the point where we understand the cell at new levels of complexity such as larger signalling complexes in cells, and cells interacting with other cells. To present this new view of molecular cell biology and the accompanying advances in experimental technology, the fifth edition shows exciting developments in cell birth, lineage and death expanded coverage of signalling systems within the whole cell/organism and expanded coverage of metabolism and movement of lipids. In addition, new pedagogy includes research questions by looking at real experimental data in "analysing the data" problems and "updated perspectives for the future" at the end of each chapter, which explore potential applications of future discoveries and unanswered questions that lie ahead for researchers. The media package includes a companion website with animations, videos and classic experiments covering groundbreaking molecular cell biology experiments to enhance student learning. For instructors there are PowerPoint images from the text solutions and a test bank. Other supplements include an instructor's CD-ROM containing all text images, a conversion guide from the 4th edition test, bank animations and videos, and overhead transparencies. And for students there is the "Working with Molecular Cell Biology, Fifth Edition: A Study Companion and Solutions Manual".

good October 28, 2008
This book is my textbook for nutrition metabolism. However, my instructor just pick parts of the book so it is fragmental for me. Anyway I think it is a good book.
 Excellent and informationnal October 4, 2008
This book has the latest and most up to date information regarding molecular cell bio. Every time i needed clarifications on something i didn't understand, this book had the answer.
The Best Book On Molecular And Cell Biology September 25, 2008
This book is indeed the best introductory book on molecular and cell biology. It is well written and fully illustrated. This new edition also includes a lot of the most recent information particularly in the areas of signaling, cancer, and stem cells. It is a valuable resource for all students of molecular biology.
Better February 27, 2008
This is the second copy of this book that I have (the first being the 5th ed.). It seems that the authors cannot settle on a cohesive system in which to arrange the material. Like the 5th ed., I think that the material does not follow a logical course of organization (but admittedly better than the last ed.). Nevertheless, the material presented is of good quality being that it is easy to understand and difficult to become lost in the material. Overall, it is a good book.
