Coffee House Notes on Virology

by Tim Skern

Our knowledge of viruses and their relevance to disease is enormous. The diversity of viruses is fascinating, yet at the same time overwhelming. How can undergraduates of science and medicine begin to come to terms with detailed scientific knowledge and viral diversity? „Coffee House Notes On Virology“ is an attempt to support such students in their understanding of virology. The book contains the answers to 75 exam questions written in a straightsforward style. Each question was revised by students to ensure clarity and plain English. The book should stimulate interest in virology and encourage new students to delve deeper into the subject.

Nice overview!

Lot of interesting information about different viruses (dna,rna,retroviruses) and different virusfamilies with examples. Used it for an exam at my university and it was helpful.
It is really well explained, easy to understand and to the point.

Sadly, I couldnt find a newer version with more information that would cover everything Prof. Skern told us in his lectures. But beside that, its a really great book!
