Excellent source for microbial physiology

I have used "General Microbiology" as a teaching source in Microbial Physiology for many years. I have allways been amazed at the scope of information packed in what appears to be a rather small volume, which is not easy to find in other sources. It is excellent value for money. On the downside, it is getting long in the tooth and there does not seem to be a new revision on the horizon - which is a real pity!

The most informative biology book I know!

This little book is a treasure trove of useful information for biology instructors and students alike. This book should NOT be in the library of any biologist, It should, however, be dog-eared and on the desk of every working biology student, teacher and writer. It never fails to amaze me how easily I find what I'm looking for in it and how complete the answer is. A living classic! Five stars is not enough.

A little book but a big treasure

General Microbiology is the kind of book that I always wont to find and learn from it. The book has a concise presentation that gives an overview of the field to students not only focused in microbiology, but also to students of botany -my self- zoology, chemistry and other disciplines. I thanks the author for such a great book and especially for made it for students who are discovering and learning the marvellous world of biological sciences.
