Summary: Superb reference
Comment: Microbiology: An Introduction is a superb textbook! All the introductory microbiology materials are explained in remarkable details and simplicity. You can go through an entire chapter really quick. The figures that accompany the text are beautiful and very informative. I am glad that my professor chose this text for the microbiology course that I will be taking this fall. My friend, who took the course last year has the previous edition (6th) and a large amount of materials was updated by the authors when I compared the two editions. The two CD-ROMs that accompany the textbook are excellent. The Student Tutorial CD-ROM even has sound clips of a large number of micro-organism names that appear throughout the book, allowing you to hear the correct pronunciation. The problem sets that appear at the end of every chapter are very well made. All in all, this textbook is a very good reference for introductory microbiology. The only bad thing that I can see from the book is that there is no answer key for the problem sets at the end of each chapter. I don't think there is a solutions manual either.

Summary: Best Microbio text for Microbio students
Comment: Very easy to read and good amount of information. I recommend this book to anyone who is studying microbiology for the first time with some interest in the medical side of microbiology. The text is informative and structured very well - it also has a good use for pictures. If you like this book and are interested in infectious diseases or medical microbiology - I recommend Sherris Medical Microbiology or Med. Microbio by Murray. All in all this is the book to learn the basics to advanced concepts of microbiology on and will help you with any other courses you take that are on more advanced topics.

Summary: Caution: This is not the Textbook!
Comment: Be aware that this is NOT the textbook, it is the Study Guide! Although it may be useful for you (we decided to keep it anyway), it isn't what the title says.
