Karp continues to help biologists make important connections between key concepts and experimentation. 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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is an excellent textbook for undergraduate students and would make for an excellent course. It could also be used as supplemental text for abnormal psychology for the discussion of assessment tools, an area to which most undergraduate students do not get adequate exposure. Strongly recommended!" (Doody's, November 2010)

If you need this book for class, but don't want to pay the full price for it. Search for the ISBN 978-0470505762. Or click here :
http://www.amazon.com/Cell-Biology-Gerald-Karp/dp/0470505761/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_3
This is the international edition of the same book. The only differences, it is paperback cover and the cover is different. The inside content is EXACTLY the same.
Hope things helps.

the real book is way easier to use, unless weight or space is your main concern. No link to the table of contents. You have to go to the front page and scroll through to it, Graphics are good but it makes page loads very slow, so paging through looking for something takes forever. There are no links to the chapters in the table of contents so you must try to scroll to the right page and same thing for the index in the back. Also they will not let you view the books from the kindle web browser or my iPhone, only a kindle or my table, which greatly reduced it's usefulness. Ebooks should be better than paperbooks, they have the opportunity. But I have yet to find a single one that I was satisfied with and this one is no different. Its just a really big, slow to load pdf file.

Good book. It has more information than you will be able to digest. It does not guarantee you an A in the class or even a C. It was just too expensive and they dont give you the answers to the super complicated questions at the end of each chapter!
It is more like an encyclopedia of cell biology. It is not very student friendly. This is more like for a grad student class where you already know all these concepts and just need a quick refresher.
My professor idolizes the book author and all the scientists that won the nobel for comming up with these concepts, but that does not help me understand the material.
Book author: Please write more clear and with less jargon. I am an undergrad for god sakes! Im not a cell biologist or biochemist yet.
Pictures are nice but the professor did not tested us on the pictures. My class exams were more like 6 multiple chioce(very hard and the professor never took responsibility for correcting his wrong answers!) 4 short answer questions, and 4 big essay questions that were 2 pages long each and you had to answer them all.
If I were a newby on this, I would just buy the older edition for a buck and use it instead.
Good luck on cell bio, will be the hardest bio class you will ever take!

Terrible book
This book is incredibly dull to read. Much worse than many other biology books I have used before. It has a tendency to jump right into topics without explaining what they are or... Read more

I bought the book new and it works well in my Cell-Molec class. Wish it came with the online companion but I'm no worse off and probably saved money just buying the book.
