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.

Review:
.."."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, October 2004 "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, Volume 12, Number 2, 2005
Synopsis:
Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition is concise and accessible enough for a non-specialist to read and digest. Building on the success of the first edition the new text includes brand new "How We Know" sections in every chapter. They describe how experimental science is done and where knowledge came from. At every stage the student and lecturer are supported by ECB2 Interactive CD and the extensive ancillary package.

- "Essential Concepts" review at the end of the chapter. - Detailed index makes everything quickly accessible. New to the Second Edition: - Brand new "How We Know" sections in every chapter describe how experimental science is done with classical and current experiments. - Two completely new chapters "How Genes and Genomes Evolve" and "Genetics, Meiosis and the Molecular Basis of Heredity". - New emphasis on a genomic approach throughout the text. - Contains more on topics of lively public interest, such as stem cells and cloning. - Consolidates molecular biology in contiguous chapters. - An improved and greatly expanded Essential Cell Biology 2 (ECB2) Interactive is included with every copy of the book.
