Summary: An Exciting Experience Inside a Living Cell
Comment: I loved this book! We start out with, Suppose your living room is a cell. Then, you notice this big thing in the room, about the size of a VW Beetle. Later on, there are basketball-type things floating around. You are not just reading descriptions of cells and their interiors; you are "there" and able to see, measure, and reach out and touch the various components of the cell. Later we go into DNA and RNA and the replication, which is fascinating. These little molecular machines tirelessly read the RNA code and stamp out duplicates, and it all looks pretty much like a factory at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. And it is all going on all the time inside our cells. And this book brings it all to the level where the reader can see it and marvel at it.

Summary: An INCREDIBLE book.
Comment: This has to be one of the best science books I've ever read. I've always been put off by cell biology which seem masses of unrelated disconnected facts. This book puts it all together, covering both the science we know and the experimental techniques we used to learn it. Of the many books I read each year, about five get to stay in my library while the rest are tossed. This book easily makes that cut.

Summary: A GREAT SUPPLEMENTAL TEXT!
Comment: A great text to supplement boring textbook descriptions of the cell organelles. Honors/AP Bio students have truly enjoyed reading about the inner workings of the cells, the molecular motors that drive movement, and the genetic basis of life. A great book that brings contemporary biology to life. Highly recommended!
