Dies ist die 2. Auflage eines erfolgreichen englischsprachigen Zellbiologie-Lehrbuches, gleichzeitig aber auch ein völlig neuer Lehrbuchtyp, der speziell für die Studiensituation in deutschsprachigen Ländern konzipiert ist. Von Studierenden der Biowissenschaften und der Medizin wird heute erwartet, dass sie im Laufe ihres Studiums englische Fachliteratur lesen und verstehen und schließlich auch Forschungsergebnisse auf Englisch kommunizieren können. Den Weg dorthin bereitet dieses Buch. In einem zusammen bietet es:
- den englischen Originaltext
- deutsche Übersetzungshilfen im Kontext
- englisch/deutsches Glossar
- Wörterliste englisch/deutsch
- Links zu Gesellschaften, Portalen, Institutionen und Behörden in D-A-CH, die sich mit Zellbiologie beschäftigen.
Wesentlicher Zusatznutzen der Easy Reading-Ausgabe ist, das Lesen des englischen Grundtextes zu erleichtern und in die spezielle Wissenschaftsterminologie einzuführen. Zellbiologie wird ja auch in deutschsprachigen Ländern immer häufiger auf Englisch unterrichtet.
---------------------------------------------------------
The 2nd edition of this masterful textbook offers a modern and unique approach to the study of cell biology. It emphasizes that cellular structure and function ultimately result from specific macromolecular interactions. The chapters progress from an explanation of the "hardware" of molecules and cells to an understanding of how these structures function in the organism in both healthy and diseased states. Special features:
- Covers essential concepts in a more efficient, reader-friendly manner.
- A new chapter addresses the origin of life and evolution of the three domains Eucarya, Bacteria, and Archaea.
- Shows how molecular changes lead to the development of diseases.
- Helps to visualize molecular structures and functions with over 1500 remarkable full-color illustrations that present physical structures to scale. The first edition received the Award of Excellence from the Association of Medical Illustrators in 2005.
- An ancillary DVD (ISBN 978-3-8274-1963-7) is available with all illustrations as JPG/PDFs, lecture ready Powerpoint-sheets, and multiple choice questions.
