5.0 out of 5 stars It's an excellent book for undergraduate students!!!, October 18, 1998

This review is from: Microbiology : An Introduction (6th Ed) (Windows 95 only) (Hardcover)

It was by chance that I learned from this book. A student of mine went to California on vacation and she bought it. Later she showed it to me. I found that "MICROBIOLOGY an Introduction" is a very good text book. I use, and recommend it to the students at the Faculty of Dentistry at the Santa María University, USM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Microbio text for Microbio students, July 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Microbiology : An Introduction (6th Ed) (Windows 95 only) (Hardcover)

Very easy to read and good amount of information. I recommend this book to anyone who is studying microbiology for the first time with some interest in the medical side of microbiology. The text is informative and structured very well - it also has a good use for pictures. If you like this book and are interested in infectious diseases or medical microbiology - I recommend Sherris Medical Microbiology or Med. Microbio by Murray. All in all this is the book to learn the basics to advanced concepts of microbiology on and will help you with any other courses you take that are on more advanced topics.
