	Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster)
	By: Mark Gladwin, Bill Trattler ISBN: 094078081X Publisher: MedMaster Inc. Release Date: 01 February, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 2851	An excellent book to review microbiology as well as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals. The illustrations are great and some are quite humorous. This text book would also make a good supplement for learning microbiology during normal course work. Highly recommended. Very well,fun and easy explained concepts. Anyone who is taking micro i highly recomend to buy. It is better than the texbooks which teachers recomend! This book gives a good, quick overview of the basic principles and key issues of micro and serves as a good BRS-type review.
	Microbiology: An Introduction (9th Edition)
	By: Gerard J. Tortora, Berdell R. Funke, Christine L. Case ISBN: 0805347909 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 09 March, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 17122	I have never had a problem with Amazon overseas until now. This book was shipped on 2 January and received 6 February. This does not make me stray from Amazon. I am just disappointed. I received this text book in a very timely manner, in the wrapper, and paid a very fair price. The text is easy to read and had a very good primer on the biochem that is the basis for Microbiology. I would give a good rating to this seller. I purchased this text to help review for the FNP examination. It is an excellent resource--one that I frequently pull off the shelf to review. I would strongly recommend it for your medical library.
	Alcamo's Fundamentals of Microbiology, 8th Edition
	By: Jeffrey C. Pommerville ISBN: 0763737623 Publisher: Jones & Bartlett Publishers Release Date: 15 December, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 37407	This book is easy to read for a science text and has pretty good descriptions and pictures. I'm using it for an Intro to MicroBio class and it suits me well. I was a little shocked that it did not come with a CD or an online website supplement, but I guess that helps keep costs down (A book like this for only $100 brand new is great). <br /> <br />Recommended this is the best science book in the world, and i don't even like science. the book keeps me entertained and i love it. i love it so much i am not going to re-sell it after my class ends and save money. I would rather keep the book. a lot of info but it is broken down into bonehead terms.....
	A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory
	By: Michael J. Leboffe, Burton E. Pierce ISBN: 0895826569 Publisher: Morton Publishing Company Release Date: October, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 65442	The images are great for referencing the different cells charachteristics under a microscope. Convenient when you are studying somewhere besides lab. I bought this as a first year medical student in hopes that it would simplify and better illustrate the complicated world of microbiology. In the end, it was a totally useless book. The pictures are average but really low yeild. If you are a med student trying to find pictures, I strongly reccomend you look elsewhere. If you are an undergrad and have tons of time on your hands, get it and waste a nice weekend or two. Otherwise stick to the assigned books. If you are a proffesor who has chosen this as an assigned book, shame on you!!! the item I purchased wasn't complete, it was missing another lab book that was supposed to come with the atls. i have sent it back for my full refund.
	Microbiology: An Introduction with CDROM
	By: Gerard J. Tortora, Berdell R. Funke, Christine L. Case ISBN: 0805347917 Publisher: Benjamin-Cummings Publishing Company Release Date: 01 February, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 34145	This book seems to be pretty informative and well laid out. However, my book states that it comes with online access including access to the ebook. When I logged in however, I was denied access to the ebook. I wrote to customer service and they told me it was not included with my book (even though it says so right there on the cover). I have access to all the other online features, but just not the ebook (which is the one I want access to the most). We have gone back and forth but I haven't gotten anywhere. <br /> <br />So the bottom line is if you want the ebook, this is not a great choice.
	Microbiology: Laboratory Theory and Application
	By: Michael J. Leboffe, Burton E. Pierce ISBN: 0895827085 Publisher: Morton Publishing Company Release Date: 30 July, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 230799	Great quality paper for a loose page book,it does not come with a binder. Therefore, plan on getting a large one. The contents are clear and also provides good pictures to each assignment. got a new book in very reasonable price. I always buy my books from amazon, never been disappointed. Hope to have this service forever. Great manual with colored photographs. The only problem is that after flipping through it several times the pages begin to tear from the rings, so invest in some reinforcement labels. Didn't receive the product as quick as I thought but at least I paid less than buying from the on-campus bookstore.
	Microbiology Coloring Book
	By: Alcamo, Lawrence M. Elson ISBN: 0060419253 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 03 February, 1997 Bioscience book rank: 29293	I'm new to Microbiolgy and didn't know where or how to start studying. My textbook was just too huge. I felt a little silly ordering a coloring book but it has become a great way for me to flesh out key concepts and become familiar with the vocabulary. <br /> <br />Each drawing comes with a detailed and easy to read description on the opposing page. Something about reading a paragraph and then coloring in the applicable section makes the information easy to understand. <br /> <br />It's also a great way to get a little quick studying done. Each picture can be colored and reviewed in about 15 minutes (although I take a little longer just to really absorb the material). <br /> <br />Thanks for the great book! I've already ordered the Physiology and Anatomy coloring books to use next semester. <br /> I am currently in Microbiology and this book is very helpful with its layout. I am a visual learner and this book has exceeded my expectations so far. The only complaint/comment I have is that the pictures are very small and compact therefore making it hard to color with anything other than colored pencils. I would have liked crayon as they have better colors but beggers can't be choosers. Great book overall!!! I took microbiology and anatomy at the same time. I used coloring books in both classes and they were a big help. The only complaint I have about the microbiology book is that the paper is thin, lighter than the paper stock used in the anatomy coloring book. I placed a paper between the pages so the markers didn't bleed onto the next plate, but you could see the colors through the page and sometimes it was distracting trying to read the information on the page. I tried coloring with pencils and it worked out fine, it just takes longer to use pencils as opposed to markers. <br /> <br />I highly recommend the book if you are a visual and tactile learner.
	Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology (Medical Microbiology & Immunology)
	By: Warren E. Levinson ISBN: 0071460314 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Medical Release Date: 10 March, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 122106	I used this book for our infections & immunology block in medical school. I found it comprehensive enough to give me a good understanding of the subject, without going into too many details that I wouldn't have time to learn. It was an easy, almost effortless read. The fact that there is a certain amount of repetition (not enough to be bothersome, in my opinion) through the different chapters means that 1) I could understand a chapter without having read all the previous ones and 2) I memorized as I went, insead of spending hours doing it after reading. Generally, I found it to be very a very clear & efficient way to learn a subject that could otherwise have been a bit overwhelming. This book is an EXCELLENT review of Microbiology. Highly recommended for use with a Medical Microbiology course. For those who are sick of bullet-point powerpoint presentations and bulky books, finally a book that has all the stuff you NEED for the USMLE.. <br /> <br />I have tried the BRS, Lippinocott's and other's; this one is THE book to get. It is a great way to review the concepts in a concise and compact way. Plus it has great charts in it; these are great for the quick reference.
	Microbiology: An Introduction, Eighth Edition
	By: Gerard J. Tortora, Berdell R. Funke, Christine L. Case ISBN: 0805376143 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 09 May, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 62924	It's a great book, the delivery was excellent and it has a very good resale price. Get it. recieved quickly but no cd rom was attached I may have missed it in the description though but I don't believe it stated no cd I like this book. Microbiology is very fascinating to me. Parasites, etc are particularly interesting. If you are assigned this book for your Microbiology class, my advice is to read it and know the information. This book was very helpful. <br /> <br />I also used a study guide "Microbiology Study Guide Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi. This book has awesome questions for studying during the semester and really gets you ready for the exams.
	Foundations in Microbiology
	By: Kathleen Park Talaro ISBN: 0073305405 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Release Date: 11 September, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 267003	The item was correct & came in good condition, but DON'T believe Amazon's shipping info. Instead of picking the free shipping this product was eligible for (which said could take anywhere from 3-14 business days, I paid for Standard Shipping (since Amazon said it took 3-5 business days). By the 6th business day I STILL hadn't received the book & called customer service where they basically said even though their shipping policy clearly states 3-5 business days that that is not always when you get it?!? I received my book on the 12th business day! Had I known their shipping info was basically a lie, I would have paid for Express or Overnight shipping. So if you need a product by a certain day, don't count on Amazon's shipping policies. Decent text, helpful images... <br /> <br />I bought this book for a microbiology class-- note to future students: just buy an older edition. they don't change too much and spending $$$ on a new hardcover current edition for ONE semester of college isn't worth it. i ordered this item with expediated service so i could get this quickly, instead they waited a whole four days before they sent it and i never received my item, i was very disappointed in there lack of service, i dont understand why your going to charge extra for quicker delivery charge and then dont send it out at all, they told me to check the usps website to see if it was delivered, i could not get any information from them, i have yet to receive my book, i purchased my book at the school store because i had a big test coming up and i had to cram study because of this, i will never purchase anything from this carrier again
