Molecular Biology of the Cell

2010-10-29T10:35:00.001-07:00

After a long interval I found some time to talk about a book. Today I am listing Molecular biology of the cell - 5th edition. At the time of posting this book cost $121.60 at Amazon book store. Following is the book description I found at Amazon.

For nearly a quarter century Molecular Biology of the Cell has been the leading cell biology textbook. This tradition continues with the new Fifth Edition, which has been completely revised and updated to describe our current, rapidly advancing understanding of cell biology. To list but a few examples, a large amount of new material is presented on epigenetics; stem cells; RNAi; comparative genomics; the latest cancer therapies; apoptosis (now its own separate chapter); and cell cycle control and the mechanics of M phase (now integrated into one chapter).
The hallmark features of Molecular Biology of the Cell have been retained, such as its consistent and comprehensive art program, clear concept headings, and succinct section summaries. Additionally, in response to extensive feedback from readers, the Fifth Edition now includes several new features.
It is now more portable. Chapters 1-20 are printed and Chapters 21-25, covering multicellular systems, are provided as PDF files on the free Media DVD-ROM which accompanies the book.* And for the first time, Molecular Biology of the Cell now contains end-of-chapter questions. These problems, written by John Wilson and Tim Hunt, emphasize a quantitative approach and the art of reasoning from experiments, and they will help students review and extend their knowledge derived from reading the textbook. The Media DVD-ROM, which is packaged with every copy of the book, contains PowerPoint® presentations with all of the figures, tables and micrographs from the text (available as JPEGs too). Also included is the Media Player, which plays over 125 movies—animations, videos, and molecular models—all with voice-over narration. A new reader-friendly feature is the integration of media codes throughout the text that link directly to relevant videos and animations. The Media DVD-ROM holds the multicellular systems chapters (21-25) of the text as well.
By skillfully extracting the fundamental concepts from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and thereby create a coherent framework through which readers may approach and enjoy this subject that is so central to all of biology.

Minor emergencies

2010-09-22T17:45:00.001-07:00

Today I am introducing this emergency manual which will help you to manage emergencies on the spot. It is a 856 pages paper back book which you can buy at Amazon book store for $ 54.49.

Following is a review I just read about this book.

This book is a fantastic resource for all Emergency & Primary Care physicians. It goes through the management of the "simple" stuff like nasal foreign body, dystonic reactions, fingertip avulsions, nursemaids elbow, tick removal, clavicular fracture etc etc etc. Most of the topics are 2-3 pages of big type and usually with pictures & the important stuff is boldfaced. More importantly there is a "what not to do" section with every chapter.
On the downside some of the antibiotic recommendations seem somewhat out of date but that's what Sanford is for, so all in all I think that is a minor point.
