Product Description
For nearly a quarter century Molecular Biology of the Cell has been the leading cell biology textbook. This tradition continues with the new Fifth Edition, which has been completely revised and updated to describe our current, rapidly advancing understanding of cell biology. To list but a few examples, a large amount of new material is presented on epigenetics; stem cells; RNAi; comparative genomics; the latest cancer therapies; apoptosis (now its own separate chapter); and cell cycle control and the mechanics of M phase (now integrated into one chapter). The hallmark features of Molecular Biology of the Cell have been retained, such as its consistent and comprehensive art program, clear concept headings, and succinct section summaries. Additionally, in response to extensive feedback from readers, the Fifth Edition now includes several new features. It is now more portable. Chapters 1-20 are printed and Chapters 21-25, covering multicellular systems, are provided as pdf files on the free Media DVD-ROM which accompanies the book.* And for the first time, Molecular Biology of the Cell now contains end-of-chapter questions. These problems, written by John Wilson and Tim Hunt, emphasize a quantitative approach and the art of reasoning from experiments, and -they will help students review and extend their knowledge derived from reading the textbook. The Media DVD-ROM, which is packaged with every copy of the book, contains PowerPoint presentations with all of the figures, tables and micrographs from the text (available as JPEGs too). Also included is the Media Player, which plays over 125 movies—animations, videos, and molecular models—all with voiceover narration. A new reader-friendly feature is the integration of media codes throughout the text that link directly to relevant videos and animations. The Media DVD-ROM holds the multicellular systems chapters (21-25) of the text as well. By skillfully extracting the fundamental concepts from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and thereby create a coherent framework through which readers may approach and enjoy this subject that is so central to all of biology. * There is also a reference edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fifth Edition (ISBN 978-0-8153-4111-6) that contains Chapters 1-25 entirely in printed format.

 Molecular Biology of the Cell November 19, 2008
I will not purchase again from Amazon.com. The book was promised on a specific date before purchase to reel me in, but after the credit card transaction they extended the date for a month after what was promised.
After that additional period that amazon gave itself at my expense, the book still wasn't shipped. Two weeks later I recieved an e-mail & this review survey, but still no book. BUYER BE WARE!
 Amazing Book!!!!!! November 4, 2008
This book is so clear and full of good information. I use it as a reference book for classes. It goes into great detail but not overly so. I recommend this book to any cellular/molecular biology student or faculty.
Good deal November 3, 2008
The book is in extreme good condition with the attached disc intact. Shipping was as described with smooth transaction. Contact was quickly responded. The book is the latest edition and the content is exactly what I need for my study.
Overseas purchase of book "Molecular Biology of the Cell" October 15, 2008
Received the book in very good condition within the delay announced. First time buying a used book from USA, for use here in Belgium. Very satisfied by the prompt service offered by Amazon.com. Thanks.
The best reference on Molecular Biology by far. October 15, 2008
This continues to be the best reference on Molecular Biology by far. Probably the only book you will ever need.
