The Biology of Cancer PDF
The biology of cancer-first edition by Prof. R. A. Weinberg was an immediate hit. A masterpiece for clarity, sublime scholarship and style. The second edition has all of the qualities appreciated by the readers including a very solid chapters update. All chapters have been rewritten and new data added covering the latest trend in scientific literature. A DVD is included containing images and movies.By Antonio Covacci
The book is further enhanced by a process of revision and update that magically cover almost any aspect, including immunology, therapy and cell biology. Prof. Weinberg is famous for scientific articles with a clear and incisive prose and the book offers all the nuances of his style. In addition, topics are extremely well integrated. Students and scientists will be happy to see how chapters are offering superlative insights with a unique perspective of the field. I was waiting the second edition for several years. And I am surprised to see how a masterpiece morphed into another one. Images and printing are state of the art.
This is a classic book but needed refreshing. The new edition is in many ways a completely new book with many new topics and excellent graphics. The writing style is fairly consistent throughout this very comprehensive look into the molecular biology of cancer. Useful to many different levels of readers, starting at the advanced high school level.By Ramesh Kumar
