Book Description
From a to á is a short supplemental textbook that uses control of yeast mating type as a model for many aspects of cell determination in general. Topics covered include gene silencing; genetic recombination; differentiation; combinatorial gene regulation; mRNA transport to establish asymmetric cell division; signal transduction; evolution of genetic networks; and various aspects of cell biology, including action of cytoskeleton and bud site selection. The book includes a foreword by Mark Ptashne, author of A Genetic Switch.

Starting from the Basics.......2007-03-11
Complex organisms such as humans are made up of many different cell types. Understanding how these cell types differ and how they arise from undifferentiated embryonic stem cells is a major challenge for modern biologists. But even the single-celled baker's yeast can exist as any one of three distinct cell types, and our understanding of these different forms illuminates the key principles that underlie the programming and properties of cell types in higher organisms.
This book is about this yeast and presents these principles in a single, concise narrative. Topics covered include combinatorial gene regulation, gene silencing, DNA rearrangements, evolution of genetic networks, mRNA localization is asymmetric cell division, protein secretion mechanisms, and the role of the cytoskeleton in cell polarization.

Book Description
Molecular Genetic Analysis is an advanced textbook to teach the theory and practice of molecular genetic analysis to senior undergraduates and graduates studying genetics, molecular biology and cell biology.
This book uses a case study approach, with the yeast Saccharomyces as the model genetic organism, to explain the theory and practice of molecular genetic analysis. It provides enough information so readers will be able to apply the approach to their own research project.
Customer Reviews:
A bit disorganized.......2007-05-17
This is a very in-depth and practical book about molecular genetics with a very interesting case approach. However, some sections are not very well written and the overall layout of the book is not too clear or intuitive.
Book Description
This text emphasises the importance of staying informed about Saccharomyces cerevisiae as it provides the intellectual basis for much of the molecular and cellular biology of eukaryotes. It offers yeast users a concise account of the metabolism and physiology of this organism. Chapters include: life cycle and morphogenesis; carbon metabolism, nitrogen metabolism; lipids and membranes; protein trafficing; and phosphorlation and dephosphorylation of protein and stress response. This book is for second and final year undergraduates in microbiology, biotechnology and applied biology, postgraduate and doctural researchers working on yeast, and researchers and managers in industries which use and exploit Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Book Description
Rome, Florence, and Venice: those magical names are at the top of everyone’s “must-see” list for Italy. First-time visitors design their itineraries around them, while Italy veterans return to them again and again, knowing that the old saying about Rome, “A lifetime is not enough,” equally applies to Florence and Venice.
This guide gives travelers what they want: the same high-quality coverage as in Fodor's other Italy guides, but with a focus on the most popular destinations. The resulting book is slimmer and lighter than competing guides, but it’s filled with great Fodor’s features and information that’s rich and varied enough to suit any taste.
• Includes itineraries showing readers how to see the best of Italy at their own pace, with maximum fun and minimum fatigue
• Magazine-like “In Focus” features include topics such as Ancient Rome, The Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi, Siena's Campo & the Palio, Who's Who in Renaissance (Florence), Cruising the Grand Canal (Venice), Palladio Country, Emilia One Tast at a Time, The Fashionista's Milan, and The Cinque Terre.
• Thorough coverage of the surrounding highlights, including Tuscany, Milan, and the Cinque Terre
• 8-page color insert
Customer Reviews:
Good information, terrible maps.......2007-08-20
I've never been disappointed with a Fodor's guide until now. Although the information is very good, as usual for Fodor's, the maps are terrible. In particular, the pullout map is almost useless; many streets are shown, but not marked with a name -- and why does a guide for Rome, Florence and Venice not have a pullout map for Florence? Even the maps within the guide itself are disappointing -- names are printed in black, but the maps themselves are in orange ink, making them hard to read, and once again they lack enough detail to find your way in a strange city. Fodor's should check Rick Steves' Italy guide to see how to do a map. If you choose this as your only guide for an Italian trip, make sure your first action in any of the three cities is to buy a good map! (I particularly recommend the Berendtson map of Venice, and the Editricelozzi map of Rome.)
Good book, but not ideal for (cheap) backpackers.......2007-06-08
I just graduated college and decided to go on a backpacking trip through Europe. We spend about a week in Italy, and this book was somewhat helpful, but not ideal.
The food suggestions were generally for slightly higher budget travelers, and the organization didn't really fit our travel style.
If you are backpacking or just a young person looking for a good travel book, our group had a good experience with the MTV Europe (MTV Guides)book. It was kind of bulky, but we used it nearly everyday.
If you are considering this book or something from the Eyewitness series, I would definitely go with the Eyewitness book. It may be more expensive, but it will be vastly more useful. In Rome I ended up purchasing Rome (Eyewitness Travel Guides) from a bookstore, and wishing I would have just bought the whole Italy book off Amazon in the first place.
Bottom line, if you are cheap or on a budget, I would look at other books, but this will get the job done if you are looking for some nice places to eat and stay.
Italy in all its glory.......2007-05-10
I used Fodor's to map out my itinerary to ensure I saw everything I wanted to see and experienced Italy in all its glory. It explained the "must sees" very well and concisely.
The map was handy but not as good as other maps purchased in a book store which had more detail right on the map of the places to see so we did not have to carry the book around.
Tips on how to avoid the long lines were very accurate.
Gives me what I'm looking for, and a little more.......2007-03-10
I've been looking at a bunch of guides for planning an Italy trip this summer, and this is the best so far. It's not as big as other guides, but it's got as much information about the places I'm going as the other guides do, and it also manages to throw in little things that are unique, like an interview with a winebar owner in Venice, explaining the local winebar customs and no-nos.
