The brand new author team of Prescott, Harley and Klein's "Microbiology" continues the tradition of past editions by providing a balanced, comprehensive introduction to all major areas of microbiology. Because of this balance, the "Seventh Edition of Microbiology" is appropriate for microbiology majors and mixed majors courses. The new authors have focused on readability, artwork, and the integration of several key themes (including evolution, ecology and diversity) throughout the text, making an already superior text even better.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty darn decent writing for a Micro textbook,
I learned a hell of a lot more from this text than my professor. It was better written than I expected, it's as up to date as you can expect a textbook to be, and the pictures/diagrams are good. And most importantly, IDENTICAL to the hardback, but cheaper.

This review is from: Prescott's Microbiology (Hardcover)
This book does an excellent job of going into depth about the topics covered in my class. Several figures give more details than in previous editions. One drawback is that this edition does not have the essays that were in the older edition. Those essays were extremely helpful for making connections for class. Also, this edition is extremely expensive however,amazon was much cheaper than my local bookstore.

This review is from: Prescott's Microbiology (Hardcover)
This book is perfect. My microbiology professor suggested a series of books, including this one. The book hasa lot of good detail and is written so that anyone with basic bio background will understand it. I am glad I paid what I paid, I saved myself 100 bucks.
