Bestes Zellbio-Buch überhaupt, 30. Oktober 2005

Erstklassige Abbildungen, die durch nichts zu übertreffen sind, gepaart mit klarer und reichhaltiger Information. CD-ROM leider nur separat erhältlich, dafür finden sich alle Animationen und Videos auf einer Webseite.Der Lodish ist zwar um 500 Seiten kürzer als der Alberts (Molecualr Biology of The Cell), aber dafür um Längen besser in den Abbildungen und Schemata. Ein weiterer Vorteil: Es gibt den Lodish nur gebunden! Für visuelle Lerner ein optimales Buch. Bewegt sich nah am Niveau von Originalliteratur und ist bei Erscheinen äußerst aktuell.Ein Glossar findet sich am Ende des Buches.Sein Geld absolut wert - ein Buch für das gesamte Studium und weit darüber hinaus.

Absolut zu empfehlen.

      Overwhelming Details, 25. Juli 2000

As a reference book, this book is handy to have. As a primary textbook for the classroom, this book is impossible. Each subsection of each chapter is overwhelmed with details of a process as it pertains to a variety of model systems. With the increasing amount of information on molecular biology available to us, it becomes vital that authors are able to extract key concepts, present them clearly, and then support them with detailed examples. The authors of this book instead have presented page after page of details, leaving the reader to wonder exactly what it was they were supposed to glean from the forgoing monolith. I found Albert's text to be far superior in readability and organization.

I am part way through the text at this point. It does offer a reasonably clear presentation of material. The author proffers a Darwinian (in the strong sense) world view which is stated repeatedly as fact with no substantive argument or scientific evidence. The CD is a nice addition but limited.

       A must-have!, 7. Mai 2000

This book is an essential tool for both students and professionals that need to broaden their knowledge in molecular cell biology. It provides the fundamental concepts and contains high quality illustrations/graphics. The CD-ROM is also a valuable tool that one can have as it contains basically the book itself.

       A very up-to-date book in the field., 22. Februar 2000

This edition of Molecular Cell Biology represents the tremendous effort of the authors in presenting the concepts of many important cutting edges of molecular biology. Some references are from "1999" publication. The size of the text is smaller than the previous edition because some of the sections are omitted. Most of them deal with the classical experiments that give rise to the modern concepts of particular topics that we know much about nowadays. If you would like to learn more, you can easily find them in the older edition of the text. The figures drawn throughout the text are clear and beautiful. The explanations that link the text to the figures are easy to understand. The questions at the end of each chapter are especially designed for students who wish to take MCAT exam...again if you want to practice with the more advanced questions, you can find them the previous edition. Overall, despite its expensive cost, this book is an excellent one to help you learn much more about the current molecular and cell biology.
