Immunobiology

4 stars (a good start) - This is an excellent primer for anyone wishing to learn more about immunology. For the more advenced student, Bill Paul's Fundamental Immunology is a must. 5 stars (Best entry level book) - This book by Charlie Janeway is considered to be one of the best books for entry level students. His colleagues say Dr. Janeway cherished every moment that he spent in shaping this book since he took utmost joy in teaching and training students. Eventhough he is no more physically, his book will be read and remembered by almost every student in Immunology. The treatment of subject, arrangement of topics and the figures in this book are at the very best. I am sure that readers will be able to absorb the basic principles in a systematic way with sound experimental insights which will be with them forever. You also have the advantage of seeing the immune system as a friend as well as a foe. This book beautifully explains how immune system protects us from infections as well as creates major health problems when it doesn't work properly. This way of learning Immunology helps you learn the subject with big picture in mind. I strongly recommend this book for every student who takes introductory or intermediate level course in Immunology. After all, Immunology is one of the most fascinating scientific disciplines to work on. 5 stars (This book rocks!) - This is by far the most well written immunology text I have encountered. Even the most difficult concepts are presented in the most understandable manner. This book is very extensive in the material it covers and is highly recommended for an advanced undergraduate student or as an introductory graduate text. By far the feature most appealing to me are the extensive images and cartoons used in this text, used quite effectively to elucidate even the most difficult of topics. This visual presentation style combined with the extensive and highly readble coverage of relevant material make this a must have for any ser...

Essential Cell Biology- Second Edition

4 stars (Pretty Good and Basic) - This text is actually really good for beginners or as a refresher. Full of info and very detailed. 3 stars (Usefull illustrations, but it didn't help much for class) - After taking my first course in cell biology I discovered a number of things about the subject. 1) Cell Biology is a HARD CLASS! In my class, we covered about 18 or so chapters of material. Tests were based mostly on memorization of both relevant and obscure facts as well as many, many molecular processes. For someone that is pressed for time and tries to cram before tests, there will be problems. 2) It is difficult to understand many of the processes in cell biology without some chemistry background. When I took the class, I was also in organic chemistry 2, but that didn't help much. If I could have done it over again, I would actually take Biochemistry before Cell because processes in Cell Biology are explained briefly and mostly independent of the chemistry involved, which forces the student to memorize information without really understand why these processes occur. 3) In general, Biology is becoming more problem based and in order to understand cell, you need to have solve useful questions. Based on the inherent difficulties of Cell Biology that I have mentioned, I don't think that this book did much to bridge any of these learning gaps. The molecular processes were explained briefly which was ok, but since there was so many of them, it was still hard to manage. The chemistry of cell biology in this book is poorly explained. Chemical structures are largely discarded in favor of acronyms. Obvisously, acronyms are favored for the long run, but a firm understanding of the chemical structures needs to be understand first. In my opinion, this book relied too much on acroynms. Finally, the questions in this book were terrible. Some were just inane (Compare signs of life for a rock and a plant) while others were just pointless (Calculate something or the...

Molecular Biology of the Cell- Fourth Edition

5 stars (Great, but...) - I ordered this book on somewhat of a lark, and I haven't been disappointed. The material is fascinating; although so complex that even at 1,400 pages it still feels like a summary in some places, particularly the parts about RNA replication (what I'm reading right now). For self learners, it's great. I was expecting to force myself to read this thing, but I just got sucked in, reading it like a novel, although in some places it can get difficult and I find myself needing to re-read a paragraph several times. A few specific criticisms: I wish there was a better cohesion between pictures and the text. Sometimes you need to flip the page over to see the figure they reference in the text, but I'm sure that's a space concern and the book is already 1,400 pages. I'd also like to see specific pointers to papers or other books you could read if you wanted to find out more about a specific thing. Finally, the glossary is a little thin. It doesn't contain a definition for "nucleolus" for example. You might want to get a companion dictionary to go along with the book. I'd rate it more like 4.9 stars if I could. 5 stars (Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fourth Edition) - Although Molecular Biology of the Cell is suitable for specialists, it's not written exclusively for biologists. Amateur readers and those who want to expand their knowledge to one of the most interesting scientific topics, myself included, can still find the book useful and enjoyable. Starting from chapter one, the book makes use of hundreds of illustrations to explain corresponding sections. The fourth edition takes advantage of the new discoveries in genetics by expanding the material provided in previous editions. Six chapters in total have been added to expand the information on molecular genetics. Chapter one, which explains RNA Translation, the Domains of the Living World, Genetic Information in Eucaryotes, among many other things, is quite an interesting opening of ...
