Description
Every page of the first edition of Cell Biology has been re-evaluated and updated for this new edition. This book is designed to present a relatively simple, although certainly not simplistic, view of complex systems. A large of number of the diagrams have been re-drawn or extensively modified to embrace changes in knowledge or to attempt to portray the concepts more clearly.
