THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF HUMAN LIFE Understanding Mature Cells and Stem Cells

These college-level lectures address all aspects of cellular structure, biochemistry, and behavior. The information discussed can serve as an introduction to the subject or an update for scientifically minded listeners who have fallen behind in biology. One can see why Professor Young has won a teaching award. The organization of his lectures makes learning easy, and his delivery takes place at just the right speed to keep things understandable. His voice enunciates every syllable of the technical words, which come in droves. Of particular interest to many will be his references to stem cells, a current hot topic in the media. A 72-page course guide with color illustrations comes with the package. J.A.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2008]
