| This is a very good lab. book, very complete. Is the best choise.
This book is well written one and contains a vast and updated knowledge in soil microbiology. The content of this book is easy to digest especially for individuals who are new to the field of soil microbiology. The text is enriched with easy to follow displays and figures. I strongly recommend my fellow students to get this reference and make it a part of their personal library.
This is one of the best science textbooks that I have ever read. It is intended for students and others who are interested in everyday microorganisms and the roles they play in the environment. Topics include the history of soil microbiology, metabolism, enzymes, soil macrofauna and microfauna, microbial interactions, soil as a microbial habitat, nitrogen and other nutrient cycling processes, carbon cycling, heavy metal remediation, bioremediation and composting. <p>What makes this book unique is the fun way that the information is presented (from fundamental to advanced topics). What I especially liked were the breakout sections that described especially interesting environmental "hot" topics (PCBs in the environment, Se in Kesterson wetland, vermicomposting, and many others) and simple microbial experiments (e.g. making sauerkraut at home, measuring denitrification, and many others) illustrating the role of microorganisms and other procedural steps of the methods. Another aspect that I really liked was that each subject was told in a short story format with enthusiasm and wit. <p>I would encourage anyone interested in natural sciences to get a copy of this book. <p>Anonymous Faculty. |

| I found this book through a friend and absolutely love it! I take it with me as I am rounding on patients and it helps me to anticipate questions that I will get pimped on. Questions like what are the three most common causes of anemia and what top bugs would you suspect for pneumonia?
<br />This book is full of easy to find, applicable, accurate information that you will use daily. I just wish I would have had it for pathology and microbiology during my second year!
This is a great book, one I wish I had during my second year of medical school. It's a system-based approach to the most commons diseases and conditions of the body, listed by pathology and microbiology. This is very handy while studying for the boards and while in the hospital. I have a hard time remember the various viral and bacterial infections and this book makes it very easy. Example, my doc pimps me on the most common causes of pharyngitis/tonsillitis, I give him a glazed look and grab for my book, it's listed out nicely for me...and wha-laa, I have the answer and a differential. Plus the book fits in my white coat nicely.
<br />Plus this book is a great way to review pathology without breaking open our 50 lb pathology textbook, I used it constantly during my internal medicine and family medicine rotations. I highly recommend this book to any med student who wants an edge up. |
