Synopsis

Dr Young teaches histology and cell biology to freshmen medical and dental students at Howard University in Washington, Dc. In 1998 he was awarded a Kaiser-Permanente award for excellence in teaching, and very much enjoys the stimulation provided by the inquiring minds of his students. He has published 45 scientific articles and a number of books on cells and on the brain. He lives in a suburb of Washington (Vienna, Virginia) with his wife of 33 years (Paula) and has two grown sons. Besides learning about science, Dr. Young enjoys reading books on history, listening to music, and watching a great variety of local birds in his backyard. This book is intended to be an accessible introduction to the cell biology of mammalian cells for junior or senior undergraduate students who have already had an introduction to biological sciences. This engaging and stimulating text focuses on current controversies in cell biology. To solve these puzzles, the reader will learn how to answer a number of fundamental yet hard-hitting questions in the field. He or she is thus able to approach the subject with the right scientific attitude and build a firm foundation of understanding. Basic features of mammalian cells - secretion, division, motility, cell-cell interactions - are described using up-to-date references to the most current scientific literature. The text is well illustrated with clearly understandable diagrams and numerous micrographs of cells. This text will enable non-specialists to acquire a better understanding of current issues in mammalian cell biology.

Revue de presse

"This is a wonderful book for advanced undergraduate students in the life sciences. The book is up to date and easy to read. It is colorful, well-organized, and visually appealing. The quality of the photomicrographs and diagrams is excellent. I highly recommend this book for all those interested in cell biology. It would be an effective companion text for an honors biology seminar course." --Doody's Book Reviews
