Cell and Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments by Gerald Karp: Used

Description: Cell and Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments by Gerald Karp: Used Now fully updated and revised, the new Fourth Edition of Cell and Molecular Biology not only offers you and your students all of the latest research, it also gives students the tools they need to understand the science behind cell biology and ultimately succeed in your course. This text is ideal for sophomore/junior-level courses in cell biology offered out of biology or molecular and cell biology departments. Cell and Molecular Biology provides an alternative for faculty looking for a text that concentrates on core concepts without sacrificing coverage of experimental evidence. Karp explores core concepts in considerable depth, and presents experimental detail when it helps to explain and reinforce the concept being explained. This edition also continues to offer an exceedingly clear presentation and excellent art program, both of which have received high praise in prior editions.Product IdentifiersPublisherWileyISBN-100471465801ISBN-139780471465805eBay Product ID (ePID)30508676Product Key FeaturesNumber of Pages864 PagesPublication NameKarp's Cell and Molecular Biology : concepts and ExperimentsLanguageEnglishSubjectLife Sciences / Molecular Biology, Life Sciences / Cell BiologyPublication Year2004FeaturesRevisedTypeTextbookAuthorGerald KarpSubject AreaScienceFormatHardcoverDimensionsItem Height1.5 inItem Weight66.4 OzItem Length11 inItem Width8.8 inAdditional Product FeaturesEdition Number4Intended AudienceCollege AudienceLCCN2004-053023Dewey Edition22LeafCats2228, 163IllustratedYesDewey Decimal571.6Edition DescriptionRevised EditionLc Classification NumberQh581.2k369 2004Table of Content1.
