This is a book about microorganisms: viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and multicellular parasites. It is a text on microbiology, and covers basic microbiology, medical microbiology, and some industrial microbiology. It is an unusual text because it offers the student an opportunity to learn by coloring illustrations in a planned and meaningful sequence. The coloring approach opens the subject of microorganisms to high school students, yet college and graduate students will also find the content of this text challenging. A great deal of information can be gained from studying and working properly designed illustrations. "A picture is worth a thousand words." The student who colors the plates of this book will find real satisfaction in understanding the subject matter because it can be visualized. When recall of the material is required, the picture, complete with thoughtfully applied colors, quickly comes to mind. This book is a very important way to learn about a broad spectrum of microorganisms and how they interact with humans. Happy Coloring!

Great book for microbiology students

February 28, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great book for studying microbiology. I gave it only 4 stars for two reasons.
1. The paper is way to thin. I used my fine liner pens in these and they went through the paper to inter with the word drawn on the other side. The first four pictures show how they bleed through.
It’s best to stick with color pencils with this. I prefer the prisms colored pencils 72 count. See last two pictures.
2. More diseases could have been added to make the book more complete. There are not many diseases in this book which made it more a supplement than a real vital help at midterm time.
Would I buy it again? Yes definitely. I love that I am able to have fun coloring time while still studying for class.

Very detailed.

This is an amazing resource. If I had had these coloring books in high school and college, I would have done much better. I am a visual learner and need pictures! And I love to doodle, draw and color. :)

For those considering it for homeschooling - the Chemistry coloring book is much easier. This book would be more suited to a high schooler. Be aware that it covers topics of viruses and such. So there is mention of STD's. There are also some drawings to color that are PG 13. While they are appropriate to the topic, some parents will want to go through this ahead of time and do some editing depending on the age and maturity of the student using the book.

I thought is would be a good supplement for microbiology class but I didn't like the layout. Pictures were too detailed and too many on each page. I started one page and didn't use it again.

Greatness

May 15, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is great for all ages. I bought this as a "I'm moving out gift" for my roommate (microbiology is kind of my thing). The book contains pages of information that correspond to images to color, so it is a great way to make learning fun. And it is set up to have information then an image to color then information and then an image to color. Not full of information with coloring in the back, so the layout is done right. Shoot, I wish I had this while in high school. The information would have been more useful and enjoyable than what I was taught.

While these books may appear as simple children's activities, they are instead detailed and complete guides to college level work and textbooks, giving a new initiative to learning material. The color, details, and careful explanations included within these books complement work done in the classroom and in the field. Before paying out large sums for study guides, outside tutoring or online help, try this book. This was the hardest class in college for me, and this book kept me on track particularly during the more detailed and confusing microbiology cellular activities.

More info than I needed for my class

August 15, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book to accompany my college microbiology textbook as I find the act of coloring and labeling the pictures to be an effective study aid for me... Unfortunately, most of the info we covered in class was not present in the book. I colored what I found applicable but the rest was unused... I'm just not that into microbiology to color the whole thing without needing it to study. Now my 8 year old colors in it and it provides me with a teaching opportunity so all in all I'm happy I bought it.

Nice To Color Something Different For A Change.

May 12, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Good if you're looking for a completely different type coloring book to relax with- as for using it to learn microbiology check with your professor to see if it will be useful but I really enjoyed coloring it as a change of pace from the more standard theme type books such as mandalas and such that seem to be churned out over and over.
