Written with the non-major/allied health student in mind, Foundations in Microbiology, Basic Principles offers an accessible writing style through the use of tools such as case files and analogies to thoroughly explain difficult microbiology concepts. Active learning is promoted via innovative features such as concept mapping and “Visual Understanding” questions (using art to make content connections between chapters). A taxonomic approach is used for the study of pathogens.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the bargain you imagine, September 22, 2007

L. A. Verzwyvelt "L.A." (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Foundations in Microbiology: Basic Principles (Paperback)

The price compared to the bookstore is great, but after purchasing and taking to class I realize why. It's missing several chapters at the end of the book. The hardcover you find in bookstores has at least 3 or more chapters. If your class doesn't go that far, then you're good. If it does...well then you're going to have problems. Everything else is fine, but you will be missing key information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Foundations in Microbiology Basic Principles 7th Ed. International Student Edition, August 25, 2010

Dekan - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Foundations in Microbiology, Basic Principles (Paperback)

My rating of the item is specifically for the item. The seller was great. The International edition is a good book for my class but being that I thought it was the same as the original hardbound book, I was disappointed. The International Student Edition is missing 10 full chapters from the original, giving it only 17 Chapters rather than the full 27. Still a good book.
