Molecular Biology of the Cell

biology, cells, cell biology

"As the amount of information in biology expands dramatically, it becomes increasingly important for textbooks to distill the vast amount of scientific knowledge into concise principles and enduring concepts. As with previous editions, Molecular Biology of the Cell, Sixth Edition accomplishes this goal with clear writing and beautiful illustrations. The Sixth Edition has been extensively revised and updated with the latest research in the field of cell biology, and it provides an exceptional framework for teaching and learning. The entire illustration program has been greatly enhanced. Protein structures better illustrate structure-function relationships, icons are simpler and more consistent within and between chapters, and micrographs have been refreshed and updated with newer, clearer, or better images. As a new feature, each chapter now contains intriguing open-ended questions highlighting "What We Don't Know," introducing students to challenging areas of future research. Updated end-of-chapter problems reflect new research discussed in the text. Thought-provoking end-of-chapter questions have been expanded to all chapters, including questions on developmental biology, tissues and stem cells, the immune system, and pathogens"--Provided by publisher.

The Perfect Murder

American Detective and mystery stories, English Detective and mystery stories, Detective and mystery stories

Five top mystery writers create *The Perfect Murder* as each presents a fiendishly clever plan for the ideal crime. From jellyfish in the jacuzzi to a traditional dagger through the heart, these scenarios bristle with the ingenuity readers expect from Lawrence Block, Sarah Caudwell [Sarah Cockburn], Tony Hillerman, Peter Lovesey, and Donald E. Westlake. Though Tim married his wife largely for her wealth, he is a proud man, and his discovery that she is having an affair with his best friend moves him to contemplate homicide. His deep-seated desire to stay out of jail precludes any but the most cunningly practical crime that will do in the philandering spouse and convice the authorities that his best friend did the deed, drawing all suspicion away from him. Yet the esthete in Tim craves a crime so flamboyantly original and intricate that it achieves the level of art. Clearly, Tim want to commit the perfect murder and, clearly, he needs some professional advice. In *The Perfect Murder*, five masters of suspense writing and, hence, indisputable professionals provide Jack Hitt with their fiendishly clever blueprints for the ideal crime. All built on the artfully disbolical premises that Hitt (playing the nefarious Tim) sets forth, their scenarios -- from exotic jellyfish to mass murder -- are as diverse as their talents. All bristle with hilarious ingenuity, and all offer cogent commentary on the nature of mystery writing and on human nature itself.
