The text in this book is fantastic, very clear and concise – simple for a student (like me) to read on their own and get a very clear understanding of. The book covers everything from the discovery of microorganisms to viruses, bacteria, protazoa, prions and the chemistry in cellular metabolism.

So you can see, this book covers a variety of topics – and is a fantastic introduction to the field of microbiology. The negatives of using this book – if you are a visual learner the diagrams are sub-par at best. Now I’m not talking about the tables, the tables are fantastic. The diagrams are minimal, and not very helpful. I am lucky in that my Micro professor has overheads of the diagrams from a different book that he uses.

I utilized this text for my microbiology class in undergrad. It lists the major parasites, molds and bacteria. Parasites were the most fascinating because it shows you what foods are associated with what parasite. Pretty yucky stuff but was not dull at all. I also used:
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Question and Answers, isbn 0971999635, to help me with test preparation. The questions were quite similar to what I found on my college microbiology tests. Both books helped me to achieve very excellent scores on my tests.
