When Cells Die II Publisher: Wiley-Liss Hoboken, NJ 2004, 549 pages
This book, reference material for upper-level researchers, covers all major aspects of the subject of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, written by the most authoritative scientists in the field. The topic was a major part of the 2002 Nobel Prize in medicine, and there are over 100,000 publications in the field. The second edition—a complete rewriting of this book—was solicited because the first edition, in 1998, was very well received and won several prizes.
