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 ATF production. Mitochondria is the first modern, truly comprehensive authored book which tackles the biochemistry, genetics, and pathology of mitochondria in different organisms.

"...very valuable, [...] I doubt that anyone could have donebetter." (Journal American Aging Association, Vol 23, 2000)
"...it is up-to-date, remarkably comprehensive yet concise andcontains something for everyone...a wide range of 'Cell Biologists'will find this book valuable." (Cell Biology International, 24thAugust, 2000)
"...a broadly conceived and lively account of mitochondrial biologyand biochemistry...not written to be a textbook but, because hewrites with such clarity and spark, and...in such an organized andcomplete manner...it would serve very well as a...text."(Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Vol. 29, 2001)
