A Top 25 CHOICE 2016 Title and recipient of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award, Cell Biology by the Numbers investigates fundamental questions of cell biology through a quantitative lens. How much energy is released in ATP hydrolysis? How many mRNAs reside in a cell? What is faster, transcription or translation? Through richly illustrated, question-driven vignettes and "back of the envelope" calculations, the authors reveal the key numbers—sizes, concentrations, rates, and energies—that define the living world.

A Top 25 CHOICE 2016 Title, and recipient of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title (OAT) Award.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"This unique book is all about numerical thinking in (cell) biology. In about 100 vignettes, each a few pages long, the authors address all kinds of questions from a quantitative perspective. Overall, this is an interesting and highly useful volume, which should sit on the shelf of anyone working in cell biology and related fields, as well as anyone who is just curious about (cell) biology from a quantitative perspective."
Andreas Handel, Epidemiology & Biostatistics, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, The Quarterly Review of Biology, December 2017
