User’s Reviews

rented this book through amazon for my Microbiology class. It’s a great textbook – there are a lot of great photos throughout and I really used the appendix in the back quite often.
If looking at renting a digital version, I highly recommend it. It was wonderful to search the book by a keyword when needed, and I also like that it’s much lighter to carry your device than the book itself.

Very interesting book that’s well organized. I’m glad that it was a required book and I feel as though I learned a lot from it. While it’s obviously not written for pleasure, and at times can be a bit rough to keep focus, it does enhance it’s chapters with a lot of pertinent and current photos.

This text book is loaded down with poorly communicated, extraneous details that no right-minded student is going commit the time to memorize and no right-minded professor would require for memorization. For example, I’ll was reading along about Malaria and sentence after sentence is simply naming effective medications. While I believe this type of information should be included in the book, it should be in a table format – such that an instructor can simply say – “memorize table such-and-such”. Reading it in sentence format is analogous to reading the book of Numbers in the Old Testament. A well written text-book will be captivating. Lists and complicated processes should not be included in the text of the book because it disrupts the flow reading. They should strictly be included in figures and tables and simply referred to in the text. I.e. “See table 23.4 for the list of characteristics symptoms, diagnostic techniques, and effective medications for this disease”. Then move on to the next topic.
