 Excellent review book, 2005-06-14
I'm a med student and there is such a huge quantity of review books out there promising all kinds. This one doesn't deliver it all and does not claim to. It does give the clinically relevant stuff that is repeatedly tested and its' clinical correlation so that the student can have a greater awareness of the topic. I particularly liked the review sections with MCQ's and answers within the same chapter. A good book all round and small enough to fold and stick in your back pocket

 Good information, poor illustrations, 1998-12-22
I used this text as a supplement for my microbial physiology class and found the explantions good, if not complete. The problem I had was that the graphic representations used to show varying processes were either very lacking, or completely absent. Most good science texts use detailed illustrations and colored ink. This text provides neither and would probably serve the more experienced bacterial physiologist as a good reference.

Brilliant, 2006-01-20
All the books I have read by Michael Wilson have deepened my understanding of microbiology to an enormous degree. I'm eternally grateful to the man.
This book is no exception. If you want to know how and why bacteria do what they do, at the cellular level, and what the response of the human body is, I recommend this book!

By far the best undergraduate general Microbiology text, 2008-10-14
"Brock" (as it's known!) is without doubt not just the best Microbiology textbook available but one of the best textbooks period. The book is logically set out, beginning with basic introductory material covering areas such as how we define a microorganism, cell structure, evolution, diversity and biochemistry before moving on to more complex general topics, including microbial growth, bioenergetics, catabolism and molecular biology. Brevia on Virology and Mycology are given, before moving on to the main sections on Bacteria and Archaea, arranged in terms of the taxonomy used in Bergey's Manual (the Microbiology Bible), going through the Proteobacteria by Class before covering Gram positive Bacteria and all the other various groups. Archaea are covered in more depth than you'd find in any other general Microbiology text, which is fantastic. The book ends with various applied topics such as medical Microbiology, Biotechnology, Ecology and Biogeochemistry.
The text is a very rich one - it's clearly laid out with a good use of colour and some absolutely beautiful photographs and photomicrographs, which are related directly to the text and serve to really reinforce points, rather than just to illustrate them. Concept Checks and Review Questions compliment each section and draw together material from other areas. As textbooks go, you really couldn't want anything more. With every edition, Brock just goes from strength to strengh.
