BioEssays

"The in-depth description of all the essential aspects of the cell cycle makes this book a unique resource....an essential source of information for curious students and scientists..."
Christina Karlsson Rosenthal
Associate Editor
Nature Cell Biology

"...up-to-date, authoritative, balanced, and accessible - an exceptionally good book on a fascinating subject...an outstanding textbook for graduate-level classes on cell cycle regulation, as well as an indispensable reference book..."

Cell Division

"...a valuable resource on the cell cycle and its molecular control, written clearly and concisely, with an organization that should be useful both to those in the field looking for a review of key concepts and those outside the field hoping to gain an understanding of the current state of knowledge..."

"Overall, I think that it is excellent. It is very clear and concise, and exactly the kind of book that I would like to be able to give to new people coming into the lab who need to learn more about the cell cycle. It also would be an excellent book for an advanced undergraduate course or a graduate course."
Douglas Kellogg
Sinsheimer Labs, University of California, Santa Cruz

"I think this book works great. The format is simple and accessible and provides just enough detail...I had thought it might not be thorough enough, but since you have so many sub-topics it is a very good overview of the field."
Michael Glotzer
The University of Chicago

"First, I think the book in general is a good idea, and I was impressed by the synopsis which seemed well structured and comprehensive. This is a book I would like my lab and students to have access to!"

…about Chapter 3

"Overall, I think the chapter is outstanding and if the entire book is at this level, then it will really be impressive. The coverage is excellent and there seems to be a good mix of both overview and detail."
J Wade Harper
Harvard Medical School

"Overall, I feel that this chapter covers the key aspects of the cell-cycle control system in an excellent manner. The writing is lucid, and the diagrams are both clear and attractive. ...The author should be commended for this painstaking and worthwhile effort."
William Dunphy
California Institute of Technology

…about Chapter 6

"The chapter on spindle assembly is well written and beautifully illustrated. The major concepts in the field are nicely summarized."
Arshad Desai
University of California, San Diego

"I enjoyed reading this chapter; it is rare to see such thorough coverage of the topic in one place and I think the work promises to be the most comprehensive textbook on the cell cycle ever."
Rebecca Heald
University of California, Berkeley

…about Chapter 7

"I like it a lot. I think it is clearly written and the illustrations are to the point."
Angelika Amon
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, MIT

"Chapter 7 is an excellent chapter that covers the completion of mitosis. All of the relevant and important topics are explained in a clear and concise manner."
Sue Biggins
University of Washington

"…I should start by saying that I very much enjoyed reading it. I found it excellent in writing and presentation, logically structured, and very comprehensive...this is an excellent chapter of what promises to become a very important book that the cell cycle community has been missing for too long. Congratulations to Morgan and the publishers for taking on the task of writing and producing it."
Frank Uhlmann

…about Chapter 8

"This is a very well written chapter on cytokinesis. It describes up to date results, models and ideas in this fast moving field but is also written at a level suitable for a broad readership."
Rong Li
Stowers Institute for Medical Research

…about Chapter 9

"...it includes a far better coverage of meiosis than is found in any comparable text. A truly terrific chapter. I can't wait to buy the book!"
R Scott Hawley
Stowers Institute for Medical Research

…about Chapter 10

"My first reaction on reading this chapter is — where can I buy a copy of the book? This is just the sort of reference book that I need. I especially like the way that the critical pieces of data have been taken from the original papers - that's a very nice touch — people often make sweeping statements when summarizing the cell cycle field and its not always clear where they come from."
Nicholas Dyson
Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center

…about Chapter 12

"...the chapter is extremely good: clear, well focused,...and easy to read. The figures are exemplary: readily accessible, clear, and well coordinated with the text."
