Molecular Biology of the Cell, 7th Edition (Paperback)

Molecular Biology of the Cell, 7th Edition

For more than forty years, Molecular Biology of the Cell has turned a huge body of research into a readable account of how cells work. This listing is the seventh edition in paperback.

Its approach is to draw out basic principles and lasting concepts, then connect them with current research, so students learn the framework of cell biology as well as the details.

Revised for the seventh edition

The text has been extensively revised and brought up to date with the latest research. Experts and instructors vetted the new material before publication, which is one reason the book stays on reading lists for cell and molecular biology courses.

Who reads it

Undergraduate and graduate students in cell biology, molecular biology and related life sciences are the core audience. Researchers keep it as a reference because the book covers the field broadly and explains concepts from first principles.

Getting the most from a long textbook

This is a large book, and few readers go straight through it. Most follow the chapters their course assigns, using the principles introduced early to make sense of the research covered later. The paperback format keeps the cost and weight down compared with a hardbound copy, which helps when it travels between lab, library and lecture hall.

Before buying, check that your course lists the 7th edition. Figures and chapter numbering often shift between editions, and instructors who set reading by page will expect the assigned version. This copy carries ISBN 9780393884852, so you can match it against the reading list your department provides.
