This review is from: Virology (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

For those who are seeking a basic understanding of virological principles at a biological level, this text provides a readable good basic framework. Topics range from plant and animal viruses, to sub-viral particles to the cellular effects of a viral infection. All in all, an excellent introduction for a new student of virology.
