Courses in molecular and cellular biology are a cornerstone of undergraduate programs in the life sciences. The material is not
only fundamental to all of biology, but also represents an exciting and rapidly moving area of science. This makes teaching
undergraduates a rewarding experience, but also a challenging task. The Cell: A Molecular Approach meets this challenge by
providing students with not only the most current information, but also with a conceptual framework and an introduction to the
experimental nature of contemporary research. Designed for use in one-semester introductory cell biology courses, The Cell
presents current comprehensive science in a readable and cohesive text that students can master in the course of one semester.
