Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition contains basic, core knowledge about how cells work. It has a proven track record in providing students with a conceptual and accessible grounding in cell biology. The text and figures have been prepared to be easy-to-follow, accurate, clear and engaging for the introductory student. Each section follows logically from the previous one, telling a story, rather than being a collection of facts. Questions integrated throughout each chapter encourage the reader to pause, think about what they have read, and attempt to apply the new knowledge in ways that test their understanding. Based on user feedback, the Second Edition now offers increased coverage of genetics and more experimental background. It is completely up-to-date.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It was nice reading some Biology again
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this book because I found a cheap one in the marketplace. I wouldn't have bought this brand new because I only needed it for a sub-module on my degree and it wouldn't be worth it.

    The books contents are fantastic. Everything that I needed was in here (more to do with the course design though I'd imagine) but if I had this book at A-Level I think I would have been just as impressed. The information was both in-depth, well explained and well organised with all diagrams in easy to find locations.

    I honestly wouldn't have found that course as nice to do if it wasn't for this book. This is the first edition but it is pretty much the same as the newest edition.

    Can't say much about the CD in the back though from what I could see it was a gallery of images and 3D molecules but this being Biology it wasn't really much use for the actual science but if you are interested in that sort of thing then it would be a nice rest activity between revision times or something?

    I recommend this book, I was surprised and pleasantly so. Enjoy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A my MD agrees, it's time for a re-write of Basic life Systems.
    Reviewed in the United States on 2 June 2013

    It was compiled and written to update Cell & DNA Biochemistry.
    IF you can get one w/ the CD, or DVD,, Do so.. to supplement the book
    which requires detailed reading and comprehension.. a Good student
    reference to use to re-read key sections to realize how the body systems
    all work together.. so that new research can help humans readjust on how
    best to keep us in a healthy state.
    I liked to link this to L.McTaggart's "Field" book to relate to the force fields
    which supplement how the total body functions, both chemistry, atomic
    and frequency nerve circuits.

    5.0 out of 5 stars US Print with glossy colourful pages.
    Reviewed in India on 14 March 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I usually don't write reviews too soon but I was pleasantly surprised by the book. At this price you are getting a US printed book with glossy colourful pages.
    CD is of no use if you are on 32 bit Windows as the executable files are for 32 bit only. Nevertheless you can view the videos by opening them separately but those have poor resolutions and audio quality, which is understandable given that those were from 1998.
    It is the first edition of the book and so lacks some modern developments in the field of Cell Biology but the existing contents are still relevant and important. Won't comment on the quality of the content firstly because I am yet to read it and secondly because it is already a highly acclaimed book.

    I am not from the field, but from reading first few chapters I think is exceptional, not just what and why of cell, will clear concepts of chemistry and physics that books on those subjects are unable to. This is really 'the story of your life'.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect in cell biology
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Loved it, a sufficient short version of The Cell from the same authors. Umeå University stresses the med. students that they cant buy this version, thats b*** s***. Studying medical cell biology means a lot of reading. This book is the important core knowledge of the Cell, thus you dont have to guess what to skip reading for your finals. My first med. Uni, Charles uni of Prague, faculty of meds in Hradec Kralove said the opposite, this one (or later editions) will do perfectly well.
