5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text for microbiology., April 28, 1999
By A Customer
Jacqueline Black truly has a way with with words. She has a very readable textbook. I have chosen this book for my Microbiology class. my students are primarily nursing students. The "extra" information she has included in the text adds a spark of reality to the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this study guide, March 13, 2003
By A Customer
This is an excellent study guide. It really soldifies the information of microbiology in a concise format that sticks to your brain. However, if you want to know the type of questions asked on microbiology exams, definitely get the following book:
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers
ISBN: 0971999635
The author of the second study guide knows the type of questions teachers ask on exams. I used these two books in my undergraduate microbiology course and got a 92 average. Get both books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Intro Microbio Text on the Market, December 19, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microbiology: Principles and Explorations (Hardcover)
This book is the best intro microbiology textbook I've seen. The author writes in a very straigtforward, no nonsense, yet detailed fashion and explains concepts with a perfect blend of precision and simpicity that other books lack. The book has nice photos and illustrations to support the great writing.
