Cells may be small, but they are far from simple. This book clearly and carefully traces the trail of ground-breaking discoveries that have led to our modern understanding of the basic units of life.

Research Notes

“I never studied the history of science in school, so I jumped at the chance to write this book. I always enjoy learning something new. The research for Cell Biology took a long time because I had to track down and order a lot of books and articles from far off places. I also spent many hours reading dusty volumes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s research library."
