This book provides the reader with an account of some of the experimental evidence on which our present knowledge is based. The third edition of this highly successful book has been extensively revised and restructured to incorporate the many recent advances in the subject, including new information on the properties of single ionic channels and the molecular biology of membrane proteins. There are many new illustrations and numerous references to recent work. The essential philosophy of the book remains the same: fundamental concepts are clearly explained and key experiments are examined in some detail. The contents of the book that was so successfully launched in 1971 are now appropriate to the challenges of the 1990s. The book is primarily intended for use by students of physiology, biophysics, neuroscience or zoology, and will be useful to those beginning research, and to scientists of related disciplines.

Review:

"The scope of the book is wide and it is indeed remarkable that a single author can now review current knowledge of so wide a field in the detail Aidley does here." Nerve and Muscle "I enjoyed this book immensely and believe that it can be used comfortably by students, as a reference for experts, and as a tool for the interested nonexpert investigator." Larry A. Sklar, American Journal of Physiology "Readers who know the first edition of Dr. Aidley's book will surely dash out and buy this new edition; those who do not know it should become acquainted right away. It is surely the best currently available text on excitable cells and the new edition has been brought up to date." Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology
