 what you see is not what you get!! August 26, 2008
I thought i was getting the paperback version of microbiology. I got the paperback but it was an international version that was illegal to be sold in the United States. I will never buy from this vendor again and if you want what you pay for you wouldn't either. Hopefully it wont be that different from the original version in content.
Review of the 9th edition of Microbiology: An Introduction August 25, 2008
I purchased this textbook from the University Bookstore as the required text for the Microbiology class I am taking. So far the book seems concise but clear on the information needed to understand Microbiology.
Excellent Overview of Microbiology August 3, 2008
The book and its CD companion provided an excellent overview of the basics of Microbiology. A great foundation for an science student. The presentation of material is clear, photos abound and the review sections at the end of chapters are very helpful.
I reccommend this book to professors and students alike! Material is thorough and well presented with opportunity for additional learning also.
