Hücre: Moleküler Yaklaşım

by Geoffrey M. Cooper

Teaching cell biology can be a daunting task because the field is so vast and rapidly moving, characterized by a continual explosion of new information. The challenge is how to teach students the fundamental concepts without becoming bogged down in details. Students need to understand the principles of cell biology and be able to appreciate new advances, rather than just memorizing "the facts" as we see them today. At the same time, the material must be presented in sufficient depth to thoughtfully engage students and provide a sound basis for further studies. The Cell, Seventh Edition, provides a balance of concepts and details that meets the needs of today's students and their teachers. Written by an active scientist and experienced educator, this textbook combines readability and cohesiveness with comprehensive and up-to-date science.

In keeping with prior editions, the new seventh

- Is ideally suited in length and complexity for sophomore- and junior-level courses at the undergraduate level.
- Can be covered in a single semester. Students can master the material in its entirety, rather than sampling a small fraction from a much larger text.
- Is written in an efficient and compact style, covering a broad range of material in a direct and pedagogically approachable manner.
- Focuses on the molecular biology of cells as a unifying theme, with topics such as developmental biology, the nervous system, the immune system, and plant biology being discussed as examples of more general principles.
- Features "Key Experiment" and "Molecular Medicine" boxes that highlight the experimental nature of molecular and cellular biology and convey the excitement and medical relevance of research in this area.

i’m adding this to my goodreads BC I READ THIS FROM START TO FINISH

all 20 chapters. the glossary. the index. even the table of contents (probably over 20 times)

textbook was not too great, it’s full of text blocks and over complicated at times. like why would you explain the full experiment behind a discovery in the middle of the sentence, without first explaining what that discovery is. i don’t need to know that AKT was discovered in mice, just tell me the pathway first!!!

barely any mention of plant biology (0/10).


overall, very enjoyable. maybe one of the few books that are over 700 pages that i’ve been so engaged with. the book tapped into my unlocked potential. also probably permanently changed my brain chemistry (for good or for bad, i’ll never know)

molcell2 was one of the best courses! now i will read real books and pray for my grade 🙏🏻

lots of good illustrations, both schematic drawings with lumpy blobs for all the proteins and also really cool micrographs. i also liked the "key experiment" pages.

but the organization was bass ackwards. they started with chemistry, then DNA, then larger structures, until finally the cell cycle. so YOU NEVER KNEW THE BIGGER PICTURE. again and again, they would sort of hint at the larger context and then say "this is discussed in chapter 11" or whatever. the authors made the fatal mistake of so many teachers - they know the subject inside out, so they teach it from the inside out. it makes sense to them that way because they already know all the stuff from later chapters. but the student doesn't.

plus, they wrote with no personality at all. not one joke, anecdote, exclamation, etc., in the entire book.

finally, it was pretty clear that sometimes they wrote two pages and the publisher said "turn this into half a page" and so it became an ultradense series of technical sentences without explanation.

ah, well, i learned a ton, though. most interesting factoid: you can cut out two thirds of a rat's liver and it will grow back as good as new in a few days. wow.

Horrible ,

it’s full of info , looks great and all but after a paragraph or two you can’t continue reading , your brain begs you to stop and it shuts down automatically.

You can’t even use it to sleep , sleeping after reading this brings horrific nightmares.

like it or not, this is an important book for PostGrad student like me... *sigh*
Oh well, let's just take it as a light reading... *lol*

The best book for cell biology.
Very illuminating and explanatory :)
It helped me a lot.

best book for cell biology

[Terry Shackleford · Rating 2 out of 5]

I teach cell biology and wanted to try a new textbook with a better online platform for our students. I started out with a great attitude and wanted to love this book. I just got to where I hated it! It just had too many details and didn't do a good job breaking things down. The active learning exercises were stupid. I just didn't like it at all and my students liked it even less.

[Eddie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mostly easy to understand and nicely written with informative pictures. But I kept wondering if the author just stopped repeating the same thing in different words how much shorter the chapters would be...

[Pablo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can´t compare it to other book because i studied all from this one, but it was a really nice read

[Nida · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't understand the hype about this book. Tge illustrations are beyond good but the text is inferior

No me lo he leído entero pero espero aprobar biología después de haber estado trabajándome los capítulos que caían 🙏

an excellent book

This is really helpful to increase my acknowledgement of basic science.
