World of the Cell With Free Solutions Cd FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Fourth Edition of World of the Cell and Biology Place presents readers with solid information without being encyclopedic. The book continues the tradition of the prior editions, making concepts clear and readable. The fourth edition builds upon that by dividing each section into conceptual sections, with each section introduced by a heading that summarizes the concept of the section. The book places a greater emphasis on Signal Transduction than earlier editions, as well as expanded, updated coverage of cell-cell interactions and recognition. The authors also introduce new material on archebacteria and update contemporary topics like AIDS and cloning. The new edition also features a stronger emphasis on experimental approaches and results, with the authors providing supporting experimental evidence.
ACCREDITATION
Author Biography: Professor Wayne M. Becker teaches biology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where he received his Ph.D. in biochemistry. His research interests are in plant molecular biology, focusing specifically on regulation of the expression of genes that encode enzymes of the photorespiratory pathway. His love for teaching diverse student populations has taken him to such locations as Harvard University, Edinburgh University, the University of Indonesia, the University of Puerto Rico, and Canterbury University in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Lewis J. Kleinsmith is a Professor of Biology at The University of Michigan, where he has served on the faculty since receiving his Ph.D. from Rockefeller University in 1968. His research interests have included studies of differentiation and growth control in cancer cells, the role of chromosomal proteins in gene eukaryotic gene regulation, and the control of gene expression during development. He is the author of over 130 publications, including the Benjamin Cummings textbook Principles of Cell and Molecular Biology and several educational software programs. Among the honors he has received are a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Henry Russell Award, a Michigan Distinguished Service Award, several citations for outstanding teaching from the Michigan Students Association, a Thurnau Professorship, and a Best Curriculum Innovation Award from the EDUCOM Higher Education Software Awards Competition.
Jeff Hardin received his Ph.D. in biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley, and pursued post-doctoral work at Duke University. In 1991, he joined the faculty of the Zoology Department at theUniversity of Wisconsin, Madison, where he is currently an associate professor. His research interests center on how cells within embryos move and change the shape of the embryo. As part of his teaching interest, Dr. Hardin has been involved in several teaching initiatives, including being a founding member of the University of Wisconsin Teaching Academy and cofounder of a University of Wisconsin system-wide instructional technology initiative known as BioWeb. His teaching awards include a Lily Teaching Fellowship and a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award.
