Zusatztext 'Those who have had the good fortune to be taught by Professor Barritt as undergraduates well remember the wonderful clarity of his lectures, the flow of the ideas he presented and the delight of his lecture notes ... his book on "Communication Within Anmimal Cells" is a delight to read, not only for its scientific content but also for its flawless presentation. Such is the style of the presentation ... that the reader finishes it feeling that he has gained enormously in scientific concepts at the cost of an embarassingly small effort. Cleanly flowing text coupled with an abundance of uncluttered line drawings allow the ideas to form effortlessly in the reader's understanding ... wide ranging text ... a book which deserves to be widely read.'Richard G. Ryall, Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide, The Clinical Biochemist Newsletter, March 1993The main aim of this textbook is to bring together and to put into perspective current knowledge of intra-cellular signalling systems in animals. Topics discussed include networks of signals, metabolites, nucleotides, calcium, oncogenes and GTP-and DNA-binding proteins.
