5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute fountain of information, December 22, 1999

By	Clare Maslin (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microbiology (4th ed) (Hardcover)

This book is both fascinating and broad enough to be reliable as a reference. Can be picked up and flicked through or read topically. Rivals Madigan et al. Excellent illustrations and on the right level for undergrads.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for all Biological Science Majors, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microbiology (4th ed) (Hardcover)

My professor intended this book to be a reference for the microbiology course he taught. I personally found the book to be so interesting and well done that I just dived right into it, and still find more new things each time I crack it open. As a dual Biochemistry and Microbiology major, this book is going on my reference shelf.
