Synopsis :

This exciting new cell biology text is designed for a short, introductory course for instructors who wish to emphasize basic concepts and principles. This new text portrays how the process of scientific inquiry, an ongoing process, has led to our knowledge of how cells operate. In this new text, cell biology is portrayed as a dynamic blend of curiosity and observation that has led to new questions and to a continuing quest to understand fundamental life processes. Features: * The underlying theme represents science as an ongoing process of inquiry. This tone invites students to learn and discover in the same spirit as the scientists who have produced and are expanding a vast and valuable body of knowledge. * The text is not encyclopedic: reviewers assisted the authors in determining what to leave out. This text is a useful, accessible tool of manageable size focusing on concepts a student needs to know to pursue further study. * Many chapter titles and heads are in the form of questions, reminding students that our knowledge of cell biology comes about through curiosity and carefully crafted inquiries. * Lab Tours in each Part are interviews with cell biologists that focus on the questions these scientists are pursuing. These tours allow students to see how the paths of inquiry of real scientists coalesce with technology in the setting of a real laboratory. * Essays in each chapter discuss topics of general interest or expand upon topics in the chapter.
