Alberts team have written and edited a masterful body of work that is an improvement over the last edition which was superb. Everything is discussed well and without unnecessary jargon. The illustrations help to convey the three dimensions of molecular biology and the question bank with the text available online is again well done.

This is a the go-to source for everything about cell biology and cell biochemistry. This book is often used in college courses but it is written and illustrated in a manner that makes it accessible to just about everyone willing to make an effort to learn what cells do. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in biology.

This was a great book for a few of my classes just to use as a reference, it has nice large diagrams that are properly labeled without adding the headache of trying to fit too many things into one image. All of the subjects were laid out in a logical way and the book itself was very neat and organized.

I used this older edition for my class that required the latest edition and I was perfectly fine. The information and images are basically the same- there is some differences in wording and order that the info is presented but overall it is the same as the latest edition. Also my professor used many of the images directly from the text on our exams and all of the ones that he used in the new edition were the same. Def. recommend getting this version
