This brief version of the best-selling laboratory manual Microbiology: Laboratory Theory and Application, 2/e, is intended for majors or non-majors in introductory microbiology laboratory courses. This full-color manual is appropriate for courses populated primarily by allied health students and courses with a preference for an abbreviated number of experiments.
Okay. This may be weird but this has to be my favorite textbook. The photos used are beautiful and super sharp. The organization is logical and helpful. Particularly the Gram-positive/negative biochemical tests; extra-detailed conceptual explanations and quick, easy-to-understand procedures. Aesthetically, it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad I bought instead of rented, and I'm not even a biology or microbiology major.
