Customer Reviews

Very Pleased!!

This transaction was very smooth. I would certainly purchase more books from this seller in the future. The book was sent in a timely manner and was a great price!! Very Pleased!!

Helped me with microbiology class.

I liked this book because it showed the kinds of diseases and conditions bacteria, viruses, and parasites could cause. This served me well for my college microbiology classes. The material is fun to learn. After reading this book, I know longer look at eating sushi the same way again! This is because if a sushi chef is not certified, sushi can be served with parasites in them. For test preparation, I used Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers isbn;0971999635.This study guide really helped me to prepare for the type of questions that were given to me on the test. I give both books five stars.

the perfect book for case studies in microbiology

The case studies are seperatered by organ system. This is the first book I have ever used that has done this. When taking a microbiology course the pathogenic microbes are presented by organ system so this format suits the course perfectly. The case studies are so much fun to do it's like a puzzle and you end up studying without even knowing that you've been studying. This book is also great for anyone who just loves reading about disease causing microbes anyone who has read the coming plague should buy this book and have some fun with their new found knowledge and do some medical problem solving.
