Molecular Biology of the Cell is the classic in-depth text reference in cell biology. By extracting the fundamental concepts from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and create a coherent framework through which non-expert readers may approach the subject. Written in clear and concise language, and beautifully illustrated, the book is enjoyable to read, and it provides a clear sense of the excitement of modern biology. Molecular Biology of the Cell sets forth the current understanding of cell biology (completely updated as of Autumn 2001), and it explores the intriguing implications and possibilities of the great deal that remains unknown.
The hallmark features of previous editions continue in the Fourth Edition. The book is designed with a clean and open, single-column layout. The art program maintains a completely consistent format and style, and includes over 1,600 photographs, electron micrographs, and original drawings by the authors. Clear and concise concept headings introduce each section. Every chapter contains extensive references. Most important, every chapter has been subjected to a rigorous, collaborative revision process where, in addition to incorporating comments from expert reviewers, each co-author reads and reviews the other authors' prose. The result is a truly integrated work with a single authorial voice.

『Molecular Biology of the Cell』は、細胞生物学の非常に優れた、詳細な教科書・参考書である。著者らは、発展の一途をたどる広大なこの分野の基本概念を抽出し、専門外の読者にもわかりやすい整然とした枠組みの中で細胞生物学を論じている。明瞭かつ簡潔なことばで書かれ、美しい図解をふんだんに用いた本書は、楽しく読ませると同時に現代生物学の魅力を存分に感じさせてくれる。細胞生物学の現在の理解を説明し(2001年秋に全面改訂)、いまだ解明されない多くの謎についても、その興味深い含意と可能性を探っている。

前版の顕著な特徴は、この第4版にも引き継がれている。すっきりと見やすい1段組みのレイアウトでデザインされ、1600点を超える写真や電子顕微鏡写真、著者らのオリジナル図解は一貫したフォーマットとスタイルを保っている。各章とも冒頭でその概要を紹介し、章末には詳細な参考文献を付してある。だが何より重要なのは、全編にわたって共同作業による徹底した改訂が施されたことである。同分野の査読者らの意見を反映させるとともに、著者同士も互いの執筆部分を読んで意見を述べ合うなどした結果、文章にばらつきのない、真に調和の取れた仕上がりになっている。

    Highly recommended to readers interested in cell biology!

    MBoC was the first textbook that I totally immersed in reading at my college study. It covers all major cell functions in molecular level and the depth of the content is really sufficient for undergraduate level.

    As the field of molecular biology rapidly evolving, this book is updated at regular period. Though I have left the college for years, I keep buying it in order to acquire the latest information about molecular biolgy. Actually I got both 1st and 4th editions and the next version may be 6th or 7th ed!
