THE ultimate centrosome bible!
This book is by far the most up to date and comprehensive treatment of centrosomes and centrioles available.Anyone interested in the cytoskeleton or cell biology would do well to get a copy of this book.Chapters are all written by leaders in the field, and provide both an excellent overview of current research as well as an entry point into the extensive primary literature.The book is well organized and tightly focused, a tribute to the fine work of its editor Robert Palazzo.This is destined to be a classic for many years to come! ...
