My worst nightmare

[ohhidogy]

I just noticed I never actually updated my progress on this book. Least to say, it’s wonderful. Easy to understand, gorgeous images and overall very helpful. I wouldn’t say it’s the most complete out of the bunch but it helped me throughout the whole semester so I’m thankful for it 🕊️

My favorite Microbiology text, I particularly like its art/illustrations. However it is an advanced text and probably not the best for novice students - it can get a bit highly detailed at times and its organization could be better, particularly when it chooses to introduce new concepts/vocabulary.

Update: currently reading this for my upper-level Microbial Ecology class.

Textbook for my 300-level microbiology class. Incredibly detailed (too detailed for the scope of my class) but the pictures and diagrams are excellent and this will probably be a good resource for upper-level microbiology classes.

Actually I read the 8th edition, but no matter - Brock's Biology of Microorganism is a musthave Bible for students of microbiology. Highly authoritative.

this causes me too much emotional damage

Use this book for reference often!

Leichte Lektüre für die Klausurenphase. Super für einen entspannten Abend auf dem Sofa <3

Gotta represent this fine tome.

[Gabriella]

this is my text book. i really like this book because it's so colorful. it makes me forget for moment about the difficulty of microbiology, the subject that i'm currently learning.

assim. não que eu tenha lido 100% do livro, porque pulei alguns capítulos que não estavam relacionados a minha prova do mestrado. e sinceramente, não acho muito justo logar esse tipo de livro aqui no goodreads. PORÉM queria deixar registrada - e admitindo isso com um pouco de vergonha - a segunda vez na vida que eu passo por um livro-texto inteirinho. a primeira vez foi com A Economia da Natureza, e minha leitura não foi tão atenta assim. agora, sinto que realmente Li a maior parte do livro. gosto muito do Brock por conta do grande valor que ele dá à ecologia microbiana. Thomas Brock foi o responsável pela descoberta das bactérias hipertermofílicas nas fontes hidrotermais de Yellowstone, então acho que o livro não poderia ser diferente. a cada dia que se passa, me encanto mais pela ciência da microbiologia e pelas possibilidades de responder grandes questões sobre a vida com base em seu estudo. não vejo a hora de me tornar microbiologista!!!

Brock Biology of Microorganisms (16th Global) is a solid text for microbiology majors and advanced courses.

What works well: The microbiology majors standard. The book's structure makes it practical for actual coursework, not just reference.

One honest caveat: Too deep for nursing/allied health. Match the edition to your syllabus before buying.

Recommended for: microbiology majors and advanced courses.

Best so far.

Helped in some exams

Mostly superficial. I haven't read all of it, but as a textbook used in a lab course, it could do much better work in explaining and elaborating and not just summarizing (and not very accurately) banal ideas.
It was also not very easy to find my way in it.

UBC, Micb 300 + 401 - Microbial Ecology, Environmental Micb Techniques. Nice images. Text are a little on the simple side, doesn't go into too much depth. Not very much useful for advance Micb courses, but i guess would be a good general guide.

I hate microbiology. I don't think I opened this book more than once.

[Alinke Labuschagne]

micro, surprise surprise. it's mostly about bacretia.

[kelly]

Ok fine, I haven't read this book, but I've looked at every damn page dozens of times! That counts, right?

all

[JubJub]

Excellent text-book! It really helped me along the path towards a love of microbiology.

[Islin Munisteri]

Good overview of microbiology.

[Jesus]

perfect to my thesis

[Mimesis]

Everything I needed to know for my microbiology exam plus a lot of additional info I can use in other classes or read purely out of interest.

[Bilge B]

Interesting, a little bit boring, some chapters are extremely fun. Not for a starter though, has a lot of details in it.

[Siti Fitria]

good

[Arwin Hernandez]

I'm finished! Sort of. ;)
