How to pass Microbiology....

This book clarifies and simplifies highly technical science writing into completely comprehensible concepts without "dumbing down" the text. It's a great review for those who are familiar with Microbiology, and a wonderful summary for those who are just learning it. Microbiology Demystified is a great investment for any science student!

Why can't they write textbooks like this

This book got me through microbiology with a B+. Any easy read. Tech jargon is defined and explained in every day English. Much better than the textbook they required us to buy and for a fraction of its price. Can't go wrong buying this.

Buy this instead of the micro textbooks

This was a great find. I was talking a microbiology course this summer as part of my RN program, but the teacher was confusing and the textbook was too technical. I took a chance and got a hold of a copy of this book. They should have used this as the textbook. Everything is written clearly, perfectly at the level I needed. I have a friend who is taking micro in the fall and she is going to use this book instead of buying the text.

Got me through my microbiology course

Let's say that I'll never be a microbiologist, but I needed to get through microbiology to stay in nursing school. Microbiology Demystified is getting me through my microbiology course. I take it to class so I can lookup anything I don't understand. This book is right on target so far. I've been pulling a B+. Now if they only had a demystified book for my other nursing courses I would be home free.
