Microbiology Principles and Explorations (8th Ed.)

I rented this book through amazon for my Microbiology class. It's a great textbook - there are a lot of great photos throughout and I really used the appendix in the back quite often.

If looking at renting a digital version, I highly recommend it. It was wonderful to search the book by a keyword when needed, and I also like that it's much lighter to carry your device than the book itself.

Very interesting book that's well organized. I'm glad that it was a required book and I feel as though I learned a lot from it. While it's obviously not written for pleasure, and at times can be a bit rough to keep focus, it does enhance it's chapters with a lot of pertinent and current photos.

Medical Microbiology made memorable Steven H. M y i n t

The aim of Medical Microbiology Made Memorable, another great addition to the Made Memorable series, is to provide a core text of medical microbiology for medical students. It will also be useful for biological science courses. This book provides accessible and appropriate information that the reader knows is essential core information. 

As a result Myint is considerably shorter than many of the established major textbooks, which are now too detailed for modern courses, and less expensive. Each topic is presented as a double-page spread, roughly covering the content that might be found in one lecture. The left-hand page contains the descriptive text and the right-hand page has diagrams, flow charts etc. Throughout the emphasis is on the clinical, with only the absolute minimum of systematic microbiology.

Microbiology and Immunology (6th edition)

This concise review of microbiology and immunology and its online resources are designed specifically for medical students to successfully prepare for Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), as well as other examinations. This newest edition remains a succinct description of the most important microbiological and immunological concepts, as well as a review of critical details needed to understand important human infections and the immune system’s function and malfunction.
