Lippincott's Illustrated Cell and Molecular Biology offers a highly visual presentation of essential cell and molecular biology, focusing on topics related to human health and disease. This new addition to the internationally best-selling Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews Series includes all the popular features of the an abundance of full-color annotated illustrations, expanded outline format, chapter summaries, review questions, and case studies that link basic science to real-life clinical situations. The book can be used as a review text for a stand-alone cell biology course in medical, health professions, and upper-level undergraduate programs, or in conjunction with Lippincott's Illustrated Biochemistry for integrated courses. A companion Website features the fully searchable online text, an interactive Question Bank for students, and an Image Bank for instructors to create PowerPoint® presentations.
I found this book to be too basic of a review for my graduate and medical school cell biology courses but if you need a good refresher of some of the basics, it is good for that. When I compare this to my undergrad cell biology class, I probably could have earned a B or low A with this text but for anything more advanced, I’m not sure this would be sufficient.
Very good overview of Cell and Molecular Biology. This would be a good introductory textbook for anyone interested in this diverse topic. I really enjoyed reading this book and the numerous included visuals made it really easy for me to visualize the mechanisms just referenced in text.
A nice collection of big ideas in molecular biology represented in a meaningful way. Not a comprehensive book, but definitely a great starting point for molecular biology which can be suggested for medical students who want to gain a sound knowledge about this comprehensive field of study. This book also gives you better ideas when it comes to pharmacy, biochemistry, oncology, the process of aging, etc...
The best thing about this book is that it's suitable and easy for students to understand. It's don't make the already difficult subject more difficult. I love it
