Any biology student or aficionado will find that this book is one of his or her most valuable guides and resources. The text is clearly-written and very up-to-date, and the rich illustrations, diagrams, and charts that accompany it are truly second-to-none. Even if you don't need it for a class, find a copy and browse - chances are you'll like it enough to consider buying it for your own reference.

It is one of the greatest Cell Biology textbooks. Very well written, nice examples and amazing illustrations. I highly recommend it to the graduate and undergrad students.
Two Thumbs Up !!

For 2 decades I teached Cell Biology. I used Cell Biology's Alberts and Coleagues Book as most important reference book to my Medicine Students. Pollard&Earnshaw's Cell Biology is much complete as Alberts'one; however, it is more complete, and it guide more easy to Medical formation questions. I am very glad to know Pollard&Earnshaw's book and share the content to my students, and to provide better discussions.

Book has a good balance between giving enough detailed information to understand the concepts without giving so much information that it is overwhelming.

Prompt timing and excellent condition.
The book is divided into chapters and each chapter has overview and references. Good quality of figures.

This book is awful. I am currently taking a Cell Biology class at Johns Hopkins and we are required to use this book. It is dry, uninteresting, and presents information in a very unorganized fashion. The book repeats itself many times. Also, the text often refers to figures that are on different pages in the book, requiring you to shuffle around through the pages looking for examples. The way the book presents important information is not effective, because most of the important stuff gets diluted with unimportant facts.

This book might have its uses as a reference, but will not help you learn the concepts very well. I do not recommend this book.

I used this book in an undergraduate Cell and Molecular Biology course in the University of Puerto Rico. It is an excellent book because it presents a lot of information as well as a lot of different examples that support that information. It is full of diagrams, pictures and tables that helped me understood all the key concepts.

the cornor of the book was banded really bad. but I didn't return it since I need it for class soon.

It's agreat book. I reccomend this book for all udergraduated students. It's awesome.
