It has a proven track record in providing students with a conceptual and accessible grounding in cell biology.

The text and figures have been prepared to be easy-to-follow, accurate, clear and engaging for the introductory student.

Each section follows logically from the previous one, telling a story, rather than being a collection of facts.

Questions integrated throughout each chapter encourage the reader to pause, think about what they have read, and attempt to apply the new knowledge in ways that test their understanding.

Based on user feedback, the Second Edition now offers increased coverage of genetics and more experimental background.

It is completely up-to-date..
