My brief extension course introduction to chem and mol bio gave me an enormous appreciation for chemistry illustrations. Molecular Biology of the Cell is one of the best textbooks ever written.
They really are something, right? My boyfriend had/has an open offer to jump into a career in scientific illustration if he wants to (but he's in love with his museum job). His neighbor has been doing it for decades and her work has been in many of the mass-produced scientific textbooks used at the high-school and college level - it was really cool to see some of her actual sketches and prints when visiting his parents a few years ago

My aunt is a medical illustrator but had to give up the career for lack of work years ago
Beautiful book I used it in undergrad. The only problem with the book is its size; it's terrible to lug around in a backpack.
Yep. Big, heavy book.
