CELL BIOLOGY
A Current Summary 1965
John Paul
The past decade may well have been the most dramatic period in the history of biological science. The secrets of the genetic code have been revealed, the complex structure of living molecules has been greatly elucidated, and as a result the central unifying hypothesis of the cell theory has taken on new significance for and impact on biology.
This book provides a clear and concise summary of the current state of knowledge of cell biology, and by concentrating on the molecular biology of heredity and its manifestations in cell differentiation, the author has centered attention on the most fascinating features of present-day biology.
Topics covered are the nature of cells, the molecular basis of cell structure, the physiochemical basis of cellular activity, the origin and evolution of cells. An effort has been made to give enough of the factual background on important issues to enable the reader to evaluate the status of each problem introduced.
The bibliography is intended, in the author's words, "to serve as a bridge between this book and the very extensive scientific literature which every serious student will wish to explore."
Mr. Paul is Reader in Biology at the University
of Glasgow.
