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 openended 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, and these problems have been expanded to all chapters by adding questions on developmental biology, tissues and stem cells, pathogens, and the immune system.

A short book but with a good book for fans of both authors, but also many insights into free speech, creativity and the importance of libraries. Some words to take to heart, some words to live by, some words to free oneself (more) in the pursuit of artistic endeavours. Definitely a good thing to read. You don't know it yet, but chances are you need this book.

This book has given me many great ideas and even more practical advice. I see some reviewers saying this was mostly a general sales philosophy and outdated advice. If you're already on sale, this might be a re-hash for you. There are criticisms of the book that it doesn't talk about tools, metrics, and so on, and I agree that it's important.

All tips and instructions in the book are clearly explained and backed up with intelligent logic of why things should be done a certain way. Before reading this book, I had no idea how wrong my profile was, and now equipped with more knowledge and the benefit of insight, I can now understand why my profile would never work for attracting potential clients.
