Available for the first time with Macmillans new online learning tool, Achieve, Molecular Cell Biology remains the most authoritative and cutting-edge resource available for the cell biology course. The author team, consisting of world-class researchers and teachers, incorporates medically relevant examples where appropriate to help illustrate the connections between cell biology and health and human disease. Emphasis on experimental techniques that drive advances in biomedical sciences and introduce students to cutting edge research teach students the skills they need for their careers.
Achieve, Macmillan's new online learning platform, supports educators and students throughout the full range of instruction, including assets suitable for pre-class preparation, in-class active learning, and post-class study and assessment. Featuring new digital resources to engage students and help them to master cell biology concepts, the pairing of a powerful new platform with outstanding biology content provides an unrivaled learning experience.
Review :
"This chapter provides a great overview of what is to come, the selection of pictures are great. The descriptions of the pictures are awesome. Another thing I like is that this chapter provides a lot of information and does not rush into the next chapter." -Jamie Parker
"The logic is great. I love it!" -Dou Zhicheng
"I really enjoyed reading the chapter. It flowed nicely and was easy to understand..." -Maianne Poxleitner
"This is an excellent chapter, which provides a concise and informative exposition of techniques referenced in other sections of the text that provide the evidence for our understanding of cell structures and functions. I believe that all the relevant microscopy techniques and major advances are well covered in this chapter. Other topics such as cell fractionation and analysis and immunological techniques complement material found in other text chapters." -Thomas Keller
"This chapter provides excellent detail on all of the topics covered. Material presented is current and accurate. The key concepts at the end of each section are well written and provide appropriately succinct synopses of the material." -Jamie Siders Sanford
"Well integrated focus on evolution and the why the genome is arranged the way it is - even in cases where answers are somewhat speculative. I really liked this part. I was able to follow the figures demonstrating mechanisms (e.g., transposon copying) without even much reference to the legends - thus I felt these were well done." -Wendy Hanna-Rose
"[C]ell biology without the detail is... high school, not college level - so overall great job. Love the rigor and the discussion." -Philip Santangelo
"1) engagingly written 2) lots of beautiful fluorescence micrographs 3) I liked that the emphasis was on microtubules (a huge literature), rather than all cytoskeletal elements being covered in a single chapter 4) inclusion of experimental approaches that led to a particular finding or model." -Susan Spencer
"1) The art is amazing 2) It is comprehensive 3) It is up-to-date. 4) I really appreciate the section on primary cilium." -Richard Londraville
"The content is definitely well-presented with excellent writing in a student-friendly writing style. The Overview of the Cell Cycle is excellent. The information is told like a story; very effective." -Hao Nguyen
"The cell cycle overview in the beginning sets up the rest of the Chapter quite well. The level of detail between molecular mechanism and cellular processes or behavior of macromolecules throughout the cell cycle is well balanced." -Salil Lachke
