In-chapter questions help students to pause, analyse and apply what they've read
Contains ECB2interactive, a dual platform CD-ROM containing videos, animations, molecular movies, high resolution electron micrographs, and cell slides

The subject of cell biology is taught in classrooms around the world to provide students with a firm conceptual grounding in biology. It is a foundational subject studied in all medical and bioscience courses, from Anatomy to Zoology. Essential Cell Biology 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 describe how experimental science is done and where knowledge came from. At every stage the student and lecturer are supported by ECB2interactive and the extensive ancillary package.

The authors are :
Bruce Alberts, Dennis Bray, Karen Hopkin, Alexander Johnson, Julian Lewis, Martin Raff, Keith Roberts, Peter Walter
