The challenge is how to teach students the fundamental concepts without becoming bogged down in details. Students need to understand the principles of cell biology and be able to appreciate new advances  rather than just memorizing \"the facts\" as we see them today. At the same time  the material must be presented in sufficient depth to thoughtfully engage students and provide a sound basis for further studies. The Cell  Seventh Edition  provides a balance of concepts and details that meets the needs of todays students and their teachers. Written by an active scientist and experienced educator  this textbook combines readability and cohesiveness with comprehensive and up to date science.  In keeping with prior editions  the new seventh edition:  Is ideally suited in length and complexity for sophomore and junior level courses at the undergraduate level. Can be covered in a single semester. Students can master the material in its entirety  rather than sampling a small fraction from a much larger text. Is written in an efficient and compact style  covering a broad range of material in a direct and pedagogically approachable manner. Focuses on the molecular biology of cells as a unifying theme  with topics such as developmental biology  the nervous system  the immune system  and plant biology being discussed as examples of more general principles. Features \"Key Experiment\" and \"Molecular Medicine\" boxes that highlight the experimental nature of molecular and cellular biology and convey the excitement and medical relevance of research in this area.
