Summary: Great book, great class!
Comment: Having used this book for my Virology class at Princeton (taught by Lynn W. Enquist), it was probably the best accompanying text to this sort of introductory survey virology course. The book can be read through, skipped around or used as a reference - it shines in all three uses. A great categorization of viruses, explanation of all the myriad replication methods they employ, the book is more than an intro text - the references at the end of each chapter point you toward very very good sources for further research. Highly recommended!!

Summary: The best in 30 years of Molecular Virology
Comment: Watson & Crick take a backseat to the finest virology text in the history of science. The 20th Century has seen no scientist/editor like Jane Flint. Her incisive, detailed investigations into the genesis of Adenovirus study will likely not be equalled in the next millenium.

Newcomers will be happy to know that this book is highly readable and I found that with a glass of Cognac and a cigarette after dinner created just the atmosphere needed to further a keen interest in Influenza virus, HIV. and the immense body of work that has gone into peeling back the layers of the actions of these killers and their close relations.

Field's Virology completely misses the boat the Jane Flint sails, DiCaprio-like into the Atlantic. We all toast her and her comrades in this undertaking . FIVE STARS!

Summary: A very good and up-to-date book in virology
Comment: This textbook of virology provides a significant background of many kinds of virus that we now know much about. A few textbooks in virology available in the market such as Field's Virology or Fundamental Virology are often too complicated for a beginner and they are also quite expensive for a student. This book comes out as an excellent supplement that is ideal for both undergradaute and graduate courses. Written by very well known experts, you can be assured that you will get a very accurate concept in this book. For example, Jane Flint is an expert in Adenovirus and Robert Krug is a well-known pioneer in influenza and many more.... All of the writers do the great job exploring their expertise that is evident in this book...Try it and you will see.
