The book is the one I ordered, however it was delivered in pieces. All the pages are not connected to the spine of the book. Thank goodness that the pages are numbered or I wouldn’t know if a page was missing. This is mostly shared so I don’t get charged for the damages it already had when delivered.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I strongly believe this should be the standard microbiology book for medical school, period. This text is in my top 5 medical books, it greatly outshines the other "recommended" microbiology texts. First of all, it has ALL the scientific facts you will ever be asked in medical school and residency. But most importantly, these facts are presented in amazingly interesting and tremendously relevant form. I fully agree with the editorial reviews of this text. I found the faculty recommended texts to be cumbersome, over-complicated, woefully lacking in explanations, and what's worse, the presentation of the material is completely random. When you have to read and study a large volume material, it's very important to know WHY you are reading this. That's what makes this text the hands down winner. I can assure you, you will actually be able to read this entire text, cover to cover, and that's important, because microbiology is one of the fundamentals of medical science, so "skipping steps" is definitely not a good strategy. You may hear people talking of a text by Jawetz, good luck with reading that cover to cover, LOL!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of detail, along with pictures
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2015

    It was a required textbook for my Intro to Microbiology course I am currently taking. It has lots of pictures and diagrams, which is great for anyone who is a visual learner. The only con about it is that is goes a bit too much in depth for just an Introduction course. There have been countless times my professor stated that we did not need to know all of the tiny details, that what she discussed in lecture (usually the general information) was good enough.

    Honestly, what can you really say? It's a biology book, it's super sciency, and reminds me how much I don't know. However, when I finally get over my student loans, I'm glad that I can learn from this text.
