A Photographic Atlas for Microbiology.......2007-03-31

This is a great resource! The packet, as described, was in great condition. I received it in a timely manner and it was really great service. Thanks.

Microbiology book.......2007-01-25

The correct book came in a timely fashion and was in perfect condition.

Excellent atlas for microbiology students.......2006-01-08

This atlas would be an excellent purchase for anyone interested in microbiology or for those students taking an introductory microbiology course (especially clinical/medical microbiology). The authors have included many common tests and stains performed in the laboratory, and contrary to what a previous reviewer has posted, this atlas contains many photographs that would be beneficial to those students having difficulty with bacterial identification in the lab. The authors have provided concise but relavent background information for all topics covered. There are only a few problems with the atlas. Aside from the fact that it is an unbound looseleaf package, for some the organization may leave something to be desired. Also, for those taking more advanced micro courses, the atlas may need to be supplemented with other material.

Great service.......2005-09-13

Atlas in great shape. Recieved in a timely manner. Would buy from this company again.

Don't BUY.......2004-02-28

This book is useless, it doesn't even come bound, it's just a bunch of sheets w/ holes in them so you can place this in a binder. The book isn't great because it is far from an atlas. It is more like a lab manual, explaining a little about the different lab tests. It basically has only one picture(in color)for different examples of each bacterium. Seeing as how it's an atlas, I assumed it to have lots of different pictures of each bacterium. Furthermore, it occupies alot of space with useless low yield info such as chemical structures. If you're buying this book for pictures of bacterium and virus, don't, because you can find comparable pictures on the internet. Also, not sure about this, but it doesn't seem that the authors are PhD's or MD's. They don't list a designation after their name, which may not matter to you, but I've found that most of the useful books are written by PhD's/MD's. SUmmary: Low Yield Book; Should not include atlas in the title because it is far from one..

Book Description

Tailored for the introductory microbiology laboratory course, the book features approximately 400 color photographs that demonstrate the results of laboratory procedures and show the morphology of important microorganisms. The photographs demonstrate the unique characteristics of common microorganisms and also their appearance after various stains and tests. Many of the photographs are labeled to point out important structures. The clearly written descriptions accompanying the photos helps students understand and, in some cases, achieve the results depicted in the photographs. Each laboratory procedure has the following sections: a Purpose and Procedure Summary, Tips for Success, and Expected Results. For anyone interested in microorganisms.

Great Microgioloy Book.......2007-05-14

It is one of the beast books I ever owned in practical microbiology, it covers a wide range of the subjects with simple and easy language that any one interested in microbiology will be pleased with the book, joinor to graduate level. Reading through out the book you get the feeling you listening to professional instructor.

Microbiology: photographic atlas for the laboratory.......2006-02-27

very helpful in my labs as it explains purpose and outcomes as well as possible pitfalls to watch for. would recommend this for anyone taking microbiology with a lab

You need this book!.......2004-07-12

Trust me, you will love it. Even though most microbiology courses come with a lab book, it is nothing like this book. It has ALL the pictures you need, information, easy to read and most of all, will surely get you through the course with ease. It helps in every aspect. I would not have gotten through my 5 week intense summer course without it. It surely was my lab lifesaver, and I have the grade to thank for it:)

Awesome Atlas.......2004-06-06

Pictures are of top quality. This makes microbiology a lot easier to understand. This book also helped me with lab. It showed pictures of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as examples quite clearly. I also highly recommend: Tortora's Microbiology Textbook. Tortora explains bacteria, viruses, parasites very well. For test preparation, get Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi. This study guide showed me what to expect on my college microbiology exams. This photo atlas is a definite keeper. Definitely not selling it back.

EXCITINGLY MICRO-VISUAL.......2003-03-12

With hundreds of high-quality pictures, this atlas stands out. It is hard-to-beat!
Together with their sound descriptive texts, the figures of this book will serve as indispensable guide for both beginners and advanced learners alike. The print-resolutions of all the photographs are fine. As a result, each culture-colony was well-defined and represented.
This atlas is a significant visual lab, which would assist students in honing their understanding of microbial processes. As well, practicing laboratory scientists would cherish the complementary knowledge it provides. And given its fair price, there is no reason why I should refrain from recommending it. It is cute! It is excitingly micro-visual!
