Product Description
The unique feature of this book's first edition was the presentation of a unified approach to the molecular biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The success of this approach, and its continuation, is the result of a long string of discoveries showing similarities in solutions to biological problems that often extend across many or even all species. A six-part organization covers genes, proteins, gene expression, DNA, the nucleus, and cells. For individuals in the science community interested in genetics. |

Molecular biology can be easy to learn by Mikhail Groubman (Moscow, Russia)  5 Stars
February 13, 2007
I have been using Genes VIII for a year already in my Molecular Biology studies and I should state that this is one of the best books written in this field.
First of all, the material is structured in a clear manner. Moreover all terms are introduced starting from simple things, which become harder and harder as you proceed. That gives the student the opportunity to form the overall picture of molecular biological processes.
Besides, each chapter starts with the introduction that is very useful when you want to review the things (i.e. before the exam).
In my opinion this book contains a lot of visual material that definitely helps students to understand the material more thoroughly.
To sum up, I would recommend everybody who wants to explore the world of Molecular Biology to buy this book.

One of the best by Ahmed Fazly (Winona, MN United States) 5 Stars
April 29, 2006
This text is a vast improvement on the previous editions. Its improved vastly on both clarity and content. The figures themselves are excellent learning tools. Combined with uptodate material, it is in my opinion peerless. Its rivals would be lodish and alberts but in some areas complements them and often outshines them. The textbook exists online at ergito.com and you could subcribe for the duration of your course. The website gives you access to the complete material in the print text and you also save a ton of money by subscribing for a shorter period, that is if you find cash an issue. However, I wholeheartedly recommend the print edition as a trusted companion for those embarking on graduate studies.

A great book on biology by M. Stein (Brighton, MA) 5 Stars
December 03, 2004
Dr. Lewin's work has helped me understand biology and improve my understanding of the sciences. The design and figures in Genes are wonderfully clear, as is the general body of the text.
Furthermore, his website at ergito.com has some great supplemental material on the important procedures of science and past experiments that have changed sciences.
Between the Genes book and the subscription to Ergito, Dr. Lewin's work is a great opportunity to learn and expand your knowledge. I thought Genes VIII was great, and a good step forward from Genes VII.
