4.0 out of 5 stars microbiology review, February 18, 2006
I purchased this book for my Microbiology class and it is very helpful. My teacher uses the same figures and tables as in the book, which are easily readable/understandable especially when you think of each process as steps. My advise is to buy the book if you need to and take advantage of the given website that is given to you in the beginning pages to test your knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Same Version as Hardback, March 24, 2011
I bought this version to save a little money. Its so surprising how much they charge for the regular hardback edition. I found that the only difference is the cover. Great Value. This book was easy to understand and I scored a 3.8 in my microbiology class! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Understandable Text, May 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microbiology: A Human Perspective (Hardcover)
A lot of times a text book is too wordy for someone to read and understand. I'm taking my microbiology course online and it was very crucial that I actually know what the book was talking about. This has been a relatively easy (as text books go) book to understand.
