 Pretty Much delivers what it claims March 22, 2008

If you're intimidated by Microbiology, then this book serves as a great introduction. I was called to teach a graduate level microbiology course, which is very different than the specialties I normally teach. I'd never taken a microbiology course and textbook assigned to the course was daunting and too heavy to travel with on the airplane. So I ordered this book and read it over the weekend prior to jumping into the textbook. It's impossible to cover all areas of this vast topic in one, "simple" and concise text. In retrospect many concepts were oversimplified, but I do still it's a good buy, plus but it can even be amusing at times, considering it's a microbiology text.
Lastly, this book is among the best on this topic in the "idiot" or "dummies" series, and it orders of magnitudes better than the "Demystified: Microbiology " by Betsy and Keogh. That book contained nearly as many errors and typos as it did facts!

Good if you learn well with humor February 26, 2008
An excellent book to review microbiology as well as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals. The illustrations are great and some are quite humorous. This text book would also make a good supplement for learning microbiology during normal course work. Highly recommended.
Great Book! February 14, 2008

Good basic intro to Micro February 8, 2008
This book gives a good, quick overview of the basic principles and key issues of micro and serves as a good BRS-type review.
