Customer Reviews

Great service ans product!

This seller is exellent. My book arrived very quickly and the book was in perfect condition...like new. I appreciated the price as well. Some of us cannot afford textbooks and these priced make them affordable. Will definitely buy from this seller again!

Excellent textbook!

It is a rare textbook that conveys the author's passion for a subject but this one does it well. It is interesting and informative.

best book...ever

this is the best science book in the world, and i don't even like science. the book keeps me entertained and i love it. i love it so much i am not going to re-sell it after my class ends and save money. I would rather keep the book.

An excellent text and reference book

This is a great introductory microbiology textbook that also serves as a good reference book. Microbiology is not my own field of study, but I developed a personal interest in learning something about bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Microbiology could be a very dry subject, but Dr. Alcamo makes learning about microorganisms very interesting and entertaining. I have found myself, on several occasions, looking something up quickly in the book, only to find myself still there reading on other stuff an hour or two later! (Wish I could say the same thing about all those textbooks I used to get my degree...)

Best Microbiology textbook available

Having reviewed many microbiology text in my continuing study in this area I found the book to be a excelent combination of the following; accessible concepts clearly explained, interesting facts and folklore, sufficient information without over exploring the more advanced concepts or missing the important basics. This book read like a novel for me. I would encourage anyone with an interest or any instructor of microbiology to give this text serious consideration
