Volumes 3A and 3B aim to give the reader a short but exciting account of the rudiments of cell biology from a largely chemical point of view. Several important topics, however, such as membrane and organelle biochemistry and cellular signalling are dealt with in later volumes. The problems of enzyme organization in situ, metabolic compartmentation, organelle interactions, and nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions are complex and of such magnitude as to continue to defy solution. "Biology is," after all, as John B. Haldane wrote, "not part of physics and chemistry, but moving on a higher plane than they do - higher because biological interpretation is a truer representation of the reality which appears to us in our experience.Bittar, E.
