Beckers World Of The Cell 9th Edition

Beckers World Of The Cell 9th Edition (Global Edition):

For courses in cell biology.
Widely praised for its strong biochemistry coverage and clear, easy-to-follow explanations and figures, Becker’s World of the Cell provides a beautifully-illustrated, up-to-date introduction to cell biology concepts, processes, and applications. Informed by many years of classroom experience in the sophomore-level cell biology course, the dramatically-revised 9th Edition introduces molecular genetics concepts earlier in the text and includes more extensive coverage of key techniques in each chapter. Becker’s World of the Cell provides accessible and authoritative descriptions of all major principles, as well as unique scientific insights into visualisation and applications of cell and molecular biology.

About the Author

Jeff Hardin, Gregory Bertoni

JEFF HARDIN received his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of
California–Berkeley. He is Professor and Chair of the Zoology Department at the
University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he has been since 1991. He is also
Faculty Director of the Biology Core Curriculum, a four-semester honors biology
sequence for undergraduates at Wisconsin known for its teaching innovations.
Jeff ’s research focuses on how cells migrate and adhere to one another during
early embryonic development. Jeff ’s teaching is enhanced by his extensive use of
digital microscopy and his web-based teaching materials, which are used on
many campuses in the United States and in other countries. Jeff was a founding
member of the UW Teaching Academy, and has received several teaching awards, including a Lily
Teaching Fellowship, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, and a Chancellor’s
Distinguished Teaching Award

GREGORY BERTONI has been active in teaching, research, and scientific writing
for more than 30 years. He earned a Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the
University of Wisconsin–Madison with Wayne Becker, where his research
investigated the effects of light quality and carbon dioxide concentration on
photorespiratory gene expression. While in Madison, he and Wayne helped to
develop a new course entitled “Ways of Knowing” designed to introduce entering
freshmen to the learning process. His published research includes studies in
bacterial pathogenesis, plant–microbe interactions, and plant gene expression.
Currently, Gregory is a Science Editor for The Plant Cell, a leading international
research journal in plant cell and molecular biology. For the past 12 years, Gregory has been teaching
biology, chemistry, and microbiology part-time at the community college level, and currently teaches at
Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, Maine. He is also a freelance scientific writer
who contributes to text- and web-based projects in biology, physics, and microbiology. His hobbies
include hiking, gardening, and growing certified organic seedlings for A Good Start, a small business
he and his wife Marianne Potter founded in 2003
