The Cell: A Molecular Approach
Geoffrey M. Cooper - 1996
The Cell: a Molecular Approach meets this challenge by providing students with not only the current information, but also with an introduction to the experimental nature of contemporary research. Designed for use in introductory cell biology courses, The Cell presents current, comprehensive science in a readable and cohesive text that students can master in the course of one semester. The new third edition of The Cell retains the organization, themes, and special features of earlier editions, but is updated to reflect scientific advances since publication of the second edition, including progress in genome sequencing, advances in understanding transcriptional regulation and mRNA processing, use of DNA microarrays in global studies of gene expression and cancer diagnostics, advances in nuclear transport and protein trafficking, progress in understanding the regulation of programmed cell death, potential medical applications of embryonic cells, and development of oncogene-targeted treatments. Key Experimental boxes in each chapter describe seminal experiments in modern cell biology, showing the detail and background to give students a sense of doing science. Molecular Medicine boxes relate basic science to clinical practice or potential and show the excitement of molecular discovery and solutions to disease. Chapter summaries are organized in outline form corresponding to the major sections and subsections of each chapter. This section-by-section format is coupled with a list of the key terms introduced in eachsection, providing a succinct but comprehensive review of the material. The full-color art program is both pedagogically and scientifically outstanding. In addition, each chapter includes a brief chapter outline, boldfaced key terms (also defined in the glossary), and many new chapter-end questions with answers in the back of the book. With a clear focus on cell biology as an integrative theme, topics such as developmental biology, plant biology, the immune system, the nervous system, and muscle physiology are covered in their broader biological context. The book can be bundled for purchase with a special edition of Molecules, Cells, and Genes, a CD-ROM keyed to the textbook and combining the essential features of a Study Guide and Problems book.

Biology (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac )
Eldra Pearl Brod Solomon - 1993
In this edition the authors have created a learning system that makes the chapters easier to navigate and provides a variety of ways for students to learn the material. "Learning Objectives" are now strategically placed throughout the chapter following major headings, and there are review questions at the ends of these major sections. "Chapter Summaries" are now organized around the "Learning Objectives" as well, making it easier for students to return to the place in the book that can help them work through the end-of-chapter material. Icons throughout the chapter direct students to the BiologyNow CD and tells them what they will find there. BiologyNow, the new Student CD-ROM for BIOLOGY Seventh Edition, is also based on these "Learning Objectives" to further reinforce the text's concepts. The BiologyNow CD, fully integrated with the Seventh Edition text, provides access to diagnostic pre-tests for each chapter. It also automatically generates customized learning plans for students, directing students to the information in the book, ancillaries and media program that will help them master specific concepts. Post-tests allow students to assess their progress as well. Personal Tutor with SMARTHINKING, a FREE online live tutoring service. Students can ask questions, get answers, and they don't need to set up appointments! For instructors, a Multimedia Manager provides the text art in PowerPoint form. Instructors also receive an Instructor's Guide, ExamView Electronic Testing and WebTutor course management options. Solomon, Berg, and Martin have gone beyond presenting facts for memorization -- they have created a well-designed pedagogical system through their use and reuse of chapter "Learning Objectives," which is supported by an unbelievable package of materials for instructors and students.

Cell and Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments
Gerald Karp - 1979
The sixth edition explores core concepts in considerable depth and presents experimental detail when it helps to explain and reinforce the concepts. The majority of discussions have been modified to reflect the latest changes in the field. The book also builds on its strong illustration program by opening each chapter with “VIP” art that serves as a visual summary for the chapter. Over 60 new micrographs and computer-derived images have been added to enhance the material. Biologists benefit from these changes as they build their skills in making the connection. Doody Review Services Reviewer: Bruce A. Fenderson, PhD(Thomas Jefferson University) Description: The author expertly organizes, explains, and illustrates the chemical and cellular basis of life on Earth in this comprehensive and exciting introduction to cell and molecular biology. The 18 fascinating chapters cover topics ranging from control of gene expression to mechanisms of immune response. There is even a chapter on laboratory techniques. The focus of the book is on biological chemistry, with an emphasis on core concepts and experimental approaches. Purpose: The purpose is to provide a textbook for an introductory course in cell and molecular biology. The author hopes that students will visualize a world filled with "giant molecules and minuscule structures" that constitute the chemistry of life. He encourages students to consider the evidence that is presented to support a biological model, think of alternate explanations, and plan experiments that may lead to new hypotheses. One of the author's goals is to help students develop their independent, critical-thinking skills. Audience: This is an excellent companion textbook for undergraduate and graduate-level courses in cell and molecular biology. It is written for students across a wide range of life science disciplines
