Sep 26, Melissa rated it really liked it Shelves: college-school-books. I am very unfortunately deeply engrossed and obsessed with this book right now. The sad story of a nursing student. A very good textbook on Microbiology at the college level. The chapter on DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis is especially well-written and presents a complex process in an easily-comprehensible, keenly-illustrated, and methodical manner.
The information in a book like this is so informative that I wish more people read text A very good textbook on Microbiology at the college level. The information in a book like this is so informative that I wish more people read textbooks about subjects they're unfamiliar with, and read them as seriously and closely as they would a favorite novel.
It was made in Cambodia, was a soft cover, and had different cover pictures; however it arrived in 3 days and was a very professional copy that stood up to my repeated abuse. I award 4-stars only because of one consistent pet peeve. There were too many references in early chapters to subsequent chapters, appendicies, tables, pictures, and charts.
Too many times the text said, "discussed in chapter XX," "see page XX," "for more info see Appendix XX," "see additional table in following chapter," " It occurred so often in the early chapter that it was distracting. It occurred less in the later chapters, but they did refer to previous chapters. While technically adding a textbook to Goodreads is bad form I definitely read this entire book for my Microbiology class.
I thought it was an excellent book to use for students in nursing school as it didn't go into TOO much detail but was detailed enough I actually learned something. No longer using this website, but I'm leaving up old reviews. Fuck Jeff Bezos. This was a well organized textbook that was not difficult to read. Sometimes, the text would go from painfully obvious generalization in one paragraph to minute frivolous detail in the next.

This was often frustrating, as the tests and learning objectives in the class for which I read this book tended to be more specific than the former an more general than the latter. I suppose this could be a review for the class overall, given the extensive overlap between the learning objectives for the class and the questions given at the beginning of each chapter and subject. Textbook conventions were used well.
If there was a new word or concept, it was bold and the definition followed. Further, the most important concepts were always the first sentence in the section. This made the text easy to skim or quickly glean answers to learning objectives. Unfortunately I am very unlikely to ever thumb through this book again, as it is on looseleaf paper in a binder, with no bound version offered at my campus bookstore.
This is disgraceful. I would have happily traded in the full color photos for a binding and hardcover. Sep 30, Redg18 rated it liked it. Normally, I would never add a textbook to my "goodreads" list but I'll make an exception for this.
This book is well written, visually detailed, and easy to understand. The concepts in this text follow me throughout my educational career. Everything you needed to know about the basics of microbiology was in this book. It's well laid out, succinct and the information was conveyed clearly.
If you need to quickly learn about microbiology in a short period of time, then this is your book of choice. Jul 02, Bobbi Jo rated it liked it Shelves: textbooks. There's a boatload of good information in this book but at some point it degenerates into a sort of glossary of microbes instead of anything that I could read and hope to retain.
I read it. Straightforward and has tons of great illustrations which often aided me in understanding more complex concepts. I'm confused that there are so many whiny reviews of this book about how it made "everything" seem gross and ruined their lives. It's actually pretty awesome for a textbook and one of the better ones available on the subject. Shut up and learn to study. The book does go into more detail than necessary for some people's college programs at the molecular level but these types of books a Straightforward and has tons of great illustrations which often aided me in understanding more complex concepts.
The book does go into more detail than necessary for some people's college programs at the molecular level but these types of books are written for a range of audiences at different levels of academia.
