`Review from previous edition I have enjoyed reading this textbook cover to cover. I have learned new things from chapters that lie outside of my own specialisation of chromosome duplication, and have made interesting new connections. As a University teacher and researcher, I can strongly recommend David Morgan's textbook to students with a background in molecular biology who are interested in the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle.' Torsten Krude in BioEssays, June 2007 `This is an extremely useful book, which can be used in undergraduate (for an advanced course) and graduate teaching, and as a reference book for researchers in the field. The book will remain an essential source of information for curious students and scientists for some time.' Nature Cell Biology, June 2007 `an excellent reference book for cell biology undergraduates with an interest in the cell cycle and the related field of cancer research. It would also make a useful reference book for any post-graduate student in a cell-cycle laboratory.' THES Textbooks Guide, February 2007
