Product Review
"This new updated edition has an improved format and contains useful additions a must for institute libraries." --
Elizabeth Hoey, The Queen's University of Belfast, in Today, February 2002Praise for the Second Edition
"An great virological text for students. It is recommended in many university undergraduate courses for good reason. It is written in an accessible stylewell illustratedI suspect the self-assessment questions will be usefully plundered by those setting examinations. I have no doubt there will be a third edition." – Trends in Genetics
"More suitable for an undergraduate class than any other text I have recently seenReadable and undergraduate friendly, and it fills a definite niche." - American Society for Microbiology News
"Compactand realistically pricedPresent[s] molecular virology to an undergraduate audience in an easily digestible form." Trends in Microbiology
"Excellent The writing flows easily with good practical examplesAn attractive, up-to-date book and is an great buy that I can strongly recommend."
Â- Society For General Microbiology Quarterly
"There is a remarkable amount of detail included for so small a book. This well-written text provides a very useable introduction to virology."

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Principles of Molecular Virology (1) (Paperback)
As a neuroscience student, I took a class on virology that I wasn't required to take. However, since I was working on AIDS and rabies, I decided I needed the background. Between the bad teaching and the horrible textbook, I ended up taking an audit in the class and came away from it very confused. This book managed to simply clarify everything that those supposedly distinquished professors of virology and the writers of the textbooks for the class couldn't do. Now as a science educator I am always horrified at how scientists take simple ideas and subjects and make them difficult for students or laypersons to understand. That isn't the motive for teaching science or at least shouldn't be. This text on virology is understandable to everyone, especially if someone like me who is deaf and therefore has English reading skills that are different from the norm can comprehend what the author is saying. All I can say to this author is Bravo, and why aren't you writing more! Karen L. Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh
