Life
Itself by B. Rensberger. A great "first" book about cells and their functions. The cell organisms are described in a lively and clear manner. The "living-room cell", where the author scales the cell to the size of an living-room and describes the flow of things is brilliant. The history of cell research is briefly described, and you will learn what actin (and lots more) is ! Click to see price at Amazon.com ! |
