    By J.L. Gallop and H.T. McMahon
Reviews:

"I would recommend it for readers wanting an overview of a few of the key questions being addressed today in the field of membrane biology and intracellular traffic, rather than an in-depth view of a single topic. Whether you want to know how a protein bends a membrane, why Alzheimer's disease researchers are taking an interest in cholesterol, or how a coated vesicle assembles and buds, this book can give you the answers, or at least, help you along in the right direction."
