Principles of Modern Microbiology balances brevity and clarity in this condensed introduction to microbiology for majors. Written specifically for the one-semester course, this text provides a manageable amount of detail - thereby avoiding the distractions that come from too much information - and maintains the degree of intellectual rigor appropriate for students at this level. To further help the student focus on principles, each chapter is divided into many sections, each section head summarizes the concept of the section, and each section has a single major point to it to help students grasp the difficult concepts. A dynamic art program presents accurate molecular and cellular images in an innovative style. Microtopics boxes throughout the text describe real-world experiments and allow students to gain a clear sense of the experimental process as it applies to microbiology. Complete with a wealth of student and instructor resources, Principles of Modern Microbiology is sure to engage and inspire majors who are looking to expand their knowledge of the microbial world.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great TxtBook,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Principles of Modern Microbiology (Hardcover)
This book is possibly the greatest microbiology book I've ever read. It's chapters are generally shorter than average and they get straight to the point. On the flip side, the book has a few errors that the second addition will have corrected. I wouldn't have known about the problems if it had not been for my microbiology professor pointing them out in his lectures. He happens to be the co-author of the second addition to come.

This review is from: Principles of Modern Microbiology (Hardcover)
The book came very timely and in good condition. I save a bunch of money on a school book that I know I will be selling back later so this a good experience overall.
