5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps getting better with each Edition, March 26, 2002
This review is from: Ion Channels of Excitable Membranes (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is a must-have for anyone working with excitable cells, be they experimentalists or modelers. It's a great reference book; everything is clearly indexed and almost compulsively cited. I've been using this book since its first edition, and it just keeps getting better each time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic. Still authoritative., August 13, 2001

This review is from: Ion Channels of Excitable Membranes (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
This is an authoritative textbook on ion channels that is often quoted in numerous textbooks in neurophysiology. Hille himself has contributed a lot in this field. The Hogkin-Huxley model is the de facto standard model in neurophysiology but certain things about neurons cannot be explained only with voltage-controlled sodium and potassium channels. With the patch-clamp technique, we have found a way to explore other interesting channles. To remind you, there are a world of ion channels! Hille's textbook show there are indeed a variety of channels most of which are poorly understood. As a reviewer below has commented, it also gives a unique insight into the history of neural membrane research. Concepts are explained with clearity. Details measurement techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise text from the first expert in the field, April 3, 2000
Excellent collection of essays about biophysics of ion channels. Concise, easy to understood, the same time not oversymplified, text from the first rank scientist. The book is suitable for biophysicist and molecular and cellular neuroscientists, although for the last, the book which cover a genetic and cellular components of channel signalling is needed also. The book is also suitable for reader whose knowledge in physics and chemistry is far from beeing the best - the author will remind you the basics in physics and thermodynamics in user friendly and "understoodable" manner.
