This textbook provides an accessible introduction to cell biology. It is intended for a first course in cell biology that emphasizes fundamental concepts. The new edition of the book is thoroughly updated scientifically, yet maintains the academic level and size of the previous edition. The cell cycle and cell division chapters of this book have been combined for greater efficiency. The book is accompanied by a DVD with over 125 animations and videos, as well as a self-test quizzing feature.

"For cell and molecular biologists, this series of books have become the absolute reference bible both in the laboratory and in the classroom. Previous editions have demonstrated how well authors and editors amalgamated, condensed, and summarized the huge area of cell biology into readily accessible bytes of information. This third edition does not deviate from this ethic and enthralls the reader with a mind-boggling 731 pages of essential cell biology." The Biochemist Praise of the Second Edition: 'This book fills a critical niche in the pedagogical process of introducing cell biology and does an excellent job in reaching its objective.' The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 79 '...an excellent example of designing a textbook for undergraduates and non-biology majors. It is clear, well illustrated, conversational in tone and enjoyable to read and browse through.' E-Streams 'The second edition retains all the beauty of the first, and it serves as an editorial model -- a guide that shows us how serious authors prepare a new version of a serious book. ...What makes for a great science education is not the amassing of facts but the understanding of concepts, processes and syntheses, and the realization that all our information about nature must be subject to testing and revision. That is the kind of educational experience that students can acquire from the second edition of Essential Cell Biology.' The Textbook Letter  Be the first to write a customer review
