A Necessary Resource

Any biology student or aficionado will find that this book is one of his or her most valuable guides and resources. The text is clearly-written and very up-to-date, and the rich illustrations, diagrams, and charts that accompany it are truly second-to-none. Even if you don't need it for a class, find a copy and browse - chances are you'll like it enough to consider buying it for your own reference.

A great Cell Biology book

I used this book in an undergraduate Cell and Molecular Biology course in the University of Puerto Rico. It is an excellent book because it presents a lot of information as well as a lot of different examples that support that information. It is full of diagrams, pictures and tables that helped me understood all the key concepts.
