Review:
"As someone who has used this book in the past, I know it is excellent for teaching medical students. It also is reasonably priced for students who are dealing with the high cost of medical education. The most valuable features are the excellent pictures and figures that enhance the understanding of complex issues. Each chapter is followed by a few thought-provoking questions that can be used during teaching to encourage deeper understanding of the material.
Although written for medical students in the first years of training, the book also is very useful for students in advanced training such as residency or fellowships." - Rebecca T. Horvat, PhD, D(ABMM)(University of Kansas Medical Center), from Doody's Reviews

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This fully revised new edition provides a balanced, up-to-date and clinically relevant introduction to microbiology. This leading text is distinguished by an innovative use of colour graphics and tables and a student-friendly format. It is comprehensive in approach - giving appropriate weighting and balance to bacteriology, virology, mycology, and parasitology - yet concise in presentation. The book focuses at all times on the essential, medically important information the student needs to know. Organisationally, the text takes a traditional taxanomic (vs. an integrated) approach to the subject matter. Also included is a separate section on Immunology (by Ken Rosenthal) that is sufficient to serve as a text for medical school immunology courses. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003939640
