Editorial Reviews:

Molecular Biology of the Cell is the classic in-depth text reference in cell biology. By extracting the fundamental concepts from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and create a coherent framework through which non-expert readers may approach the subject. Written in clear and concise language, and beautifully illustrated, the book is enjoyable to read, and it provides a clear sense of the excitement of modern biology. Molecular Biology of the Cell sets forth the current understanding of cell biology (completely updated as of Autumn 2001), and it explores the intriguing implications and possibilities of the great deal that remains unknown.
The hallmark features of previous editions continue in the Fourth Edition. The book is designed with a clean and open, single-column layout. The art program maintains a completely consistent format and style, and includes over 1,600 photographs, electron micrographs, and original drawings by the authors. Clear and concise concept headings introduce each section. Every chapter contains extensive references. Most important, every chapter has been subjected to a rigorous, collaborative revision process where, in addition to incorporating comments from expert reviewers, each co-author reads and reviews the other authors' prose. The result is a truly integrated work with a single authorial voice.

1 out of 5 stars I did not receive the book

I ordered this item about one month ago, but after about 20 days, they did not shipped it at all. I contacted them 2 times, got no replay.

1 out of 5 stars Never use Fedex

I spent $20 for overnight shipping and I ended up getting the book a week and half later. That caused me to get a C- on my first exam. Fedex actually ended up sending the book to the wrong person. Never us them, unless you want late stuff.

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Book

Obviously, there are plenty of good reviews for The Cell and shouldn't require anymore to convey the point that it's a wonderful book. However, having just completed it, I can't resist adding another...
The Cell (4th Ed.) is by far the most informative and most well-organized book I've ever had the privilege of reading. It's well written, clear and concise (regarding each of its many topics), and would be accessible to anyone with just a slight familiarity with organic chem.
It took me three months to get through its 1462 pages, without skipping as much as a sentence, and it still left me desiring more when it finally came to end. It was THAT perfect.

I don't feel a need to address the subject matter specifically in this review. If you're considering reading this book, chances are you already know its contents. If not, check out any of the many in-depth reviews above & below.

5 out of 5 stars The Molecular Biology of cells

This is the best ever book i have gone through, which is good for a beginner to learn the biological aspects of the universe. this makes far easier to teach the cell-biology course follwing this book. the CD also helps a lot to understand it properly.
