11th Hour Reviews

"I view this as a 'Cliff's Notes' for a beginning microbiology course. I found that the most important information is placed on the inside of the cover (Tips for Success, of which Tips for Studying is the most beneficial for the student). The questions and answers reinforce the most important material a student taking a beginning course should know and the authors explain the material in a manner that even a nonscience major could understand. I would hope that future editions contain more about specific bacteria." (Doody's Review Service) -George P Wawrzyniak, MBA, MT(ASCP), University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
