Review
Any basic research laboratory using molecular biology techniques will benefit from having a copy on hand of the newly published Third Edition of Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, by Joe Sambrook and David Russell... Originally published almost 20 years ago, the first two editions of this book have been staples of molecular biology with a proven reputation for accuracy and thoroughness. The Scientist Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual has always been the laboratory mainstay for protocols and techniques. It has a pure-bred ancestry, and the new addition does not disappoint. Sambrook and Russell have built upon the basic principles that made the first two editions essential reference resources. Protocols that cover everything possible in a molecular biology lab are explained in detail. ...The new edition includes information panels at the end of each chapter that describe the principles behind the protocols... The addition of this information extends Molecular Cloning from an essential laboratory resource into a new realm, one merging the previous prototype with a modern molecular monograph... It is difficult to find fault with the first two editions of Molecular Cloning. For decades, their superior presentation of laboratory protocols made them the gold standard in the field of molecular biology. However, in many laboratories the old editions are becoming worn out-a testament to their continual use. For most, it is time to retire these workhorses and allow them some peace. They and you will be safe in the knowledge that the next generation of Molecular Cloning not only carries on the proud heritage of the first two editions but also admirably expands on that tradition to provide a truly essential laboratory manual.
