Cells: Molecules and Mechanisms

---

Yet another cell and molecular biology book? At the very least, you would think that
if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one
instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why
write this book, then? First, it’s a course that I have enjoyed teaching for many years,
so I am very familiar with what a student really needs to take away from this class
within the time constraints of a semester. Second, because it is a course that many
students take, there is a greater opportunity to make an impact on more students’
pocketbooks than if I were to start off writing a book for a highly specialized upperlevel
course. And finally, it was fun to research and write, and can be revised easily for
inclusion as part of our next textbook, High School Biology.

One of the areas that was carved out of the primary text is the historical perspective
and experimental design that led to the discovery of the molecules and mechanisms
described. This was a difficult decision because I am a strong believer in understanding
the scientific thought process and learning from history. In the end though, I
decided to provide that kind of information as ancillary material that can be included
by course instructors at their discretion, because long experience and many conversations
with students indicate that even if they thought it was going to be “on the test”,
they tended to gloss over the “names and dates” stuff while studying, and on my end,
I would rather use exam “space” to test them on information more relevant to success
and understanding of more complex concepts later in the course
(or in more advanced coursework).
