This review is from: Molecular Cell Biology (Hardcover)

This is an extremely enjoyable and clearly written textbook on a very difficult subject. The explanations of numerous concepts and procedures are clear, concise, and thorough. The visual aids are superb - easy to understand diagrams and illustrations that definitely enhance and support the explanations! This is by far the most useful textbook I have encountered that covers general topics in molecular biology and cell biology. It is a bargain at $90, and I highly recommended it.
