DESCRIPTION:
The definitive text in cell biology now with the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork
For more than four decades, Molecular Biology of the Cell has distilled the vast amount of scientific knowledge to illuminate basic principles, enduring concepts, and cutting-edge research. The Seventh Edition has been extensively revised and updated with the latest research, and has been thoroughly vetted by experts and instructors. The classic companion text, The Problems Book, has been reimagined as the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork, an interactive digital assessment course with a wide selection of questions and automatic-grading functionality. The digital format with embedded animations and dynamic question types makes the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork easier to assign than ever before_for both in-person and online classes.
The authoritative text in cell biology, comprehensively and thoughtfully updated with the latest discoveries in the field.
While preparing to become the next generation of scientists and physicians, students need both a thorough, clear introduction to cell and molecular biology and a contemporary portrait of the latest discoveries in this rapidly advancing field. Molecular Biology of the Cell fulfills both needs through significantly updated text and figures and abundant new research examples.
Powerful new online assessment in the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork
NEW The Digital Problems Book in Smartwork, based on the popular print supplement and authored by John Wilson and Tim Hunt, introduces the experimental foundations of cell biology through assessment. The Digital Problems Book in Smartwork includes critical-thinking, data, animation, video-review questions, and more, all in Norton""s powerful online system. Smartwork offers a high level of customizability, automatic grading, and instructor controls, making it easy to assign.
An exceptional art program and animation suite clarifies complex concepts
All of the almost 1600 figures in this textbook have been specifically designed by the author team to illustrate a central concept, including new figures on foundational concepts and exciting areas of new research. The art in the book is accompanied by more than 160 narrated videos (many of them new and updated, covering a variety of topics), which illuminate subcellular processes and help students understand and review key concepts. Many of these videos are in the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork, making them easy to assign. These videos can also be found at the Norton Teaching Tools site, making them easy to show in class.
