    horrible, horrible textbook
  

*by H***N on November 28, 2006*









  
  
    I had to buy this book for a microbiology class, and I've now resorted to trying to supplement all the assigned readings with bits of last year's textbook borrowed from a friend.  First, this book is very superficial - it doesn't have a serious amount of information on anything.  It looks like a book for children compared to the old, traditional textbook. There is a graphic in the margins suggesting the reader visit a website for supplemental info every few pages, but I shouldn't have to be sitting at a computer to read a textbook.  There are 3 inches of blank margin, why didn't they just print the information there?  It wouldn't be "cutting-edge" enough?Further, I hope the previous reviewer didn't try too hard to learn molecular bio from this, because it's riddled with errors.  Our prof told us to cross out a whole page of fueling diagrams because they were so wrong it was beyond saving.  Another page shows glycolysis making ATP in the first step (that's way more awesome than that old-fashioned glycolysis cycle I learned last year in biochem!)  Another page says reduction when it means oxidation.  Another page miscategorizes Pseudomonas as a hydrogen bacteria.  And that's all in chapter 6 alone! There are also constant grammar and punctuation errors, which are inexcusable and distracting, but not as scary as all the wrong info.

    A decent intro to microbiology - more in-depth than most intro courses, but not nearly detailed enough for someone studying this stuff as a career.

    Other books are more helpful. This book often bolded unnecessary words and included information that wasn't needed. It doesn't really explain some concepts and is very unorganized in it's presentation of the material. I would look elsewhere like a pearson or mcgraw hill book on microbes. I only purchased this book because it was required reading for a class and it really failed to explain a lot of things that it should have.
