• Molecular Cell Biology by Harvey Lodish, Arnold Berk, S. Lawrence Zipursky, Paul Matsudaira Revised and updated edition (1st was 1986) of a rigorous undergraduate text that integrates molecular biology with biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics and applies the unifying insight to such problems as development, immunology, and cancer.  This edition of Molecular Cell Biology represents the tremendous effort of the authors in presenting the concepts of many important cutting edges of molecular biology. Many sections of the book deal the classical experiments that give rise to the modern concepts of particular topics that we know much about nowadays.  Excellent CD-ROM included with the book has great animations that illustrate concepts within the book such as cellular trafficking etc.
  Neuroscience (Book with CD-ROM) by Dale Purves (Editor), George J. Augustine (Editor), David Fitzpatrick A classy introductory text to how the nervous system works highlighting the challenges, controversies, and uncertainties in neuroscience. The 15 contributors (neurobiology, Duke U. Medical Center) extend both their talents in neuroscience and teaching in a systematic outline of the nervous system's organization, neural signaling, sensation and sensory processing, movement and its central control, brain development, and complex brain function including discussions of cognition, sleep, and sexuality. Includes quality color illustrations and photographs.
  How To Write & Publish a Scientific Paper: 5th Edition  Robert A. Day  A valuable information source for everybody working in natural sciences.  This is one of the best books on writing and publishing in science.  Seasoned professionals and beginning scientists can benefit from this lucid and accessible guide. Highly recommended.
  Genes VII:  Benjamin Lewin Oxford University Press is proud to present GENES VII--the latest edition of Benjamin Lewin's best-selling textbook. This authoritative work provides an integrated account of the structure and function of genes and incorporates all the latest research in the field.  The power of direct analysis of the genome has made a significant difference in the approach of GENES VII. In a departure from previous editions, which started with a traditional analysis of formal genetics, the new edition begins with the molecular properties of the gene itself. The text is now reorganized to begin with the concept of genes as a segment of DNA coding for protein, and then proceeds directly to the characterization of the genome in terms of its content of genes.

• Andrology: Male Reproductive Health and Dysfunction  E. Nieschlag  
  Text on the basic principles and clinical practice of andrology.
• Atlas of Functional Histology Jeffrey B. Kerr 
  Atlas presents over 700 color micrographs and electron micrographs. Relates the structures seen in the images to biologic function, and describes how the histology of tissues is affected in abnormal conditions. Multiple-choice questions with answers are at the end of the book. The comparison of spermatogenesis amongst different mammals is exceptional. 
• Mitochondria  Immo E. Scheffler 
  Mitochondria are complex organelles, possessing inner and outer membranes and even their own DNA. A typical cell contains 800 mitochondria, termed the "powerhouse of the cell", playing a central role in metabolism, respiration, and ATP production. Mitochondria is the first modern, truly comprehensive authored book which tackles the biochemistry, genetics, and pathology of mitochondria in different organisms. 
• Cytokines in Human Reproduction  Joseph A. Hill (Editor) 
  Cytokines are proteins secreted by immune and inflammatory cell populations, as well as growth factors, oncogenes, chemokines, and other soluble factors, which affect growth, differentiation, and viability of cells.  Edited by a respected authority in reproductive immunology, with contributions from leading researchers, this important work details the latest in cytokine research, outlining the role they play in causing and preventing disease in reproduction. Each of its thirteen chapters focuses on a different primary sex organ (testes, ovaries, etc.), stage of pregnancy (preterm, early pregnancy, etc.), or disease (endometriosis, cancer). DB Hales contributed a chapter on cytokines and the testes.
• The Leydig Cell Payne, Hardy & Russell, eds
  The definitive book on the cells in the testis that make testosterone, from histology to molecular biology, normal and pathophysiology. DB Hales contributed a chapter on macrophage Leydig cell interactions.
• The Sertoli Cell Russell & Griswold, eds
  The definitive book on the nurse cells in the testis that nurture developing sperm.
• Molecular Biology Made Fun and Simple Clark and Russell
  This is an excellent introduction to molecular biology with amusing examples and diagrams throughout. Makes modern molecular biology accessible to advanced undergraduates and serves as a great review for experienced researchers. Highly recommended!
• Molecular Biology of the Gene  Watson, Hopkins, Roberts Steitz & Weiner
  Classic text on molecular biology, now in its 4th edition. A must have book to complete your modern science library.  Excellent reference for the experienced researcher, and an invaluable resource for student and professor alike.
• Molecular Biology of the Cell Alberts,  Bray,  Lewis,  Raff,   Roberts & Watson
  The companion text to Molecular Biology of the Gene, this essential reference book, now in its 3rd edition, brings the inner workings of the cell to life. Covers the basic molecular biology of the simplest to the most complex organisms.   An essential part of your modern science library.
• The Physiology of Reproduction Knobil & Neil
  The revised, updated Second Edition of this classic work is a masterful distillation of breakthrough research on mammalian reproductive physiology. Among its nearly 100 contributors are many of the investigators directly responsible for the field's spectacular progress in recent years. The Second Edition provides extensive coverage of new research techniques; recent studies of interactions between hormones and genes; new findings on the structure of receptors; and newly identified endocrine and paracrine substances such as endothelins, interleukins, activins, inhibins, and prorenin.
• Williams Textbook of Endocrinology  Williams & Wilson
  9th edition of this essential reference book.  Covers basic and pathophysiology of Endocrinology.  Researchers, clinicians, and students will find this new edition invaluable and very up to date.
• Physiology Berne & Levy
  4th Edition, published Feb 1998, the state of the art in Medical School human physiology, used by Dept of Phsyiology & Biophysics, UIC, as primary text for PHYB401-2. 
• Encyclopedia of Reproduction  Knobil & Neill
  Brand new, definitive reference on all aspects of reproductive physiology.   Order yours now! Due out in September, 1998.
• Textbook of Endocrine Physiology  Griffin &  Ojeda
  An excellent, comprehensive text on endcrinology, at a bargain price. Highly recommded.
• Histological and Histopathological Evaluation of the Testis    Russell et al.
  Definitive text on histological techniques for morphological evaluation of testis.
• Cytochrome P450 : Structure, Mechanism, and Biochemistry  Paul R. Ortiz De Montellano (Editor) 
  The Second Edition reviews the impressive progress that has been made in the last ten years in cytochrome P450 research. Chapters emphasize structure, mechanism, biochemistry, and regulation.The volume is divided into four sections: model systems; structurally defined bacterial enzymes; structures and mechanisms of membrane-bound P450 enzymes; and regulatory mechanisms and physiological roles of cytochrome P450
