Great text!! I am working through Microbiology through the University of New England, and the text has been fantastic at explaining everything I need to know. I purchased this through Lagertha, who was a great seller.
I rented this book last semester and it contained a lot of good information. It also broke down Microbiology in a way that made it easier to understand. I followed this book first instead of the notes my professor wrote down and usually did pretty good on the test.
did an online course that used this textbook -- the textbook is actually pretty high quality, and while a fair amount of it is pretty dry (paragraph after paragraph of only faintly related facts), it covered material thoroughly and was great preparation for my exams at UNE.the "new" copy i bought from a seller that fulfilled through did NOT come with an online access code, however if you're good at studying and your prof doesn't require it, you can skip the online parts entirely. if you know you're going to need an access code, do not buy a "new" copy from the marketplace.
Before taking Micro I was told it's a whole other language and it is a difficult course.The material in this book is written exceptionally well and makes the subject matter easy to understand. The only negative - the book arrived in fair condition. It's week two and some of the pages have already separated from the spine. Not pleased with that, considering I'm reading the book every day.
Great class, but I hardly used the book. HIGHLY detailed and great explanations for when you didn't quite grasp a concept in lecture or your professor. For me, it was most useful for understanding the membranes and wall of gram positive vs gram negative bacteria, ATP synthase, the metabolism pathways, and finals of course.So just rent it or use your school library's copy if possible.
The inner binding of the book is torn so that the cover is only half attached. This would have been good to report in the listing as this would be "poor quality." All other experiences were great.
This book is short, concise, and filled with so much detail...particularly about DNA. The last chapters cover epidimiology. It is like having a dictionary of diseases which includes serelogy info and testing. This is very helpful!
This serves my purpose and I am glad you made it happen. I will be more than happy to recommend this transaction with .com to my friends and folks. With the correct book, I can follow up in the class with all the assignments. Thanks for that.
