The Cell: A Molecular Approach by Cooper (English) Hardcover Book

Description: The Cell by Cooper Even the most experienced instructor can find teaching cell biology daunting, and most cell biology texts are bogged down in detail or background information. Lost in all the details are the more fascinating material and contemporary advances that represent this rapidly moving field. With so much to cover, creating a classroom around active learning may be difficult or nearly impossible. The Cell: A Molecular Approach, Eighth Edition,endeavors to address those issues with succinct writing, incorporation of current research, a test bank that encourages critical thinking, and an active learning framework. With just enough detail for aone-semester, sophomore/junior level course, the text presents fundamental concepts and current research, including chapters on Genomics and Transcriptional Regulation and Epigenetics, and new in-text boxed features on Molecular Medicine and Key Experiments. Instructors will appreciate updates to the eighth edition test bank, such as raising the Blooms level of questions overall, and giving instructors the ability to select questions based on level. Finally, forinstructors who want to flip their classrooms or just get students more engaged, The Cell, Eighth Edition, is the only cell biology text that is accompanied by an Active Learning Guide. This chapter-by-chapterplaybook shows instructors how to create a dynamic learning environment with in-class exercises, clicker questions, and links to relevant media, animations, testing, and self-quizzing, all aligned with the new in-text learning objectives, wherever appropriate. This text provides the right level of detail, student engagement, and instructor support for the modern cell biology classroom. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Geoffrey M. Cooper is Professor Emeritus of Biology at Boston University. Receiving a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Miami in 1973, he pursued postdoctoral work with Howard Temin at the University of Wisconsin, where he developed gene transfer assays to characterize the proviral DNAs of Rous sarcoma virus and related retroviruses. He then joined the faculty of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in 1975, where hepioneered the discovery of oncogenes in human cancers. Since moving to Boston University in 1998, he has served as Chair of Biology and Associate Dean of the Faculty for Natural Sciences, as well as teachingundergraduate cell biology and continuing his research on the roles of oncogenes in the signaling pathways that regulate cell proliferation and programmed cell death. He has authored over 100 research papers, two textbooks on cancer and an award-winning novel, The Prize, dealing with fraud in medical research.

Cancer Review "I like the level of detail, modularity, resources and questions, and supplementary materials. I think the students like the clarity that the book provides. It is taught on a good level for undergraduates, especially those interested in medicine (teaching to the level of detail in the MCATs is always a good idea in my course)." -Nathan Jebbett, University of Vermont"I have not been able to find any other textbook that provides the key essential information related to this complex scientific area with the simplicity and depth provided in this textbook." -Germán Rosas-Acosta, The University of Texas at El Paso"This textbook is not too advanced for the medical students. Other textbooks (such as The Cell by Alberts) are more appropriate for PhD-level students with more details, but The Cell is a good, solid textbook for students in healthcare professions, with the right amount of details." -Nancy Bae, Midwestern University"A formidable text on the molecular aspects of biology, biochemistry, cell function and regulation." -Floyd C.
