Bought it for class
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this for a micro class, and it was helpful. Easy to use with lots of pictures. I'm surely not a great judge of micro books, but this one was helpful for me.
really detailed book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I was assigned this book in college. It is definitely intense. However, it's intense in a positive way. I have always found microbiology to be one of the most interesting subjects of science. I have always been fascinated by parasites and bacteria. If you're assigned this book in micro class in college--definitely read this book. I also found Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi to be an excellent study guide for test prep.
Too much info
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Extremely detailed, this book covers much more than MICROBIOLOGY. You can find a complete course of GENETICS within it as an example!This is a usefull book for undergrad's but there is no chance of being able to finish all of it in an undergraduate course in MICRO.It just covers everything and tries to squees all the info within its pages...I hope you will have fun studying it though...
Nicely done.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is nicely done, all together. The flow of information is well organized, with great cross-references and detailed graphs and pictures to help understand important concepts. Also, several appendices, a glossary, and a CD-ROM serve as helpful resources. The material is presented in a tasteful manner, not reducing the book to a mere picture book. This book, written for undergraduate and graduate students, gives serious information and is very detailed. It's the whole package!
