Fungal-Infections Books

I got this book for my husband who is studying virology. He loves it! The pictures are great, as are the descriptions! Its now his favorite non-scifi book.

Overall, if you are at all interested in microbiology and infectious things, you will love this book!

Very fast delivery, great condition. Reassuring since i tried to order this book from another seller and never recieved it. Thanks

Nice little reference book. I bought it first and foremost because it was nicely designed. It's brief but informative and has alot of nice images. The downfall of this book, as I noticed after reading it, is that the editor did an appalling job of ...well editing. This book has an insane amount of spelling and grammar errors (for a book in print I mean). I was a bit dissapointed by that, I guess they sacrificed clarity for image. Too bad, it could have been perfect. Anyway not to end on a sour note the graphics and the information make up for that one flaw.

The telescope's invention and advancement let the human world in on how tiny organisms looked, and helped to reveal pathogens and their dangers: now the images of these disease-producing microbes, from viruses to fungi, are accessible to non-scientists in MICROTERRORS, a gathering of microscope color images paired with a quick reference and health facts. Clinical notes on treatment and prevention round out a unique approach.

I have been looking for an informative book on microbes for a long time, and I've found exactly what I've been looking for with this book. The information in Microterrors is organized and easy to understand, especially for someone that's interested in finding out more about the germs they hear about everyday on the news. This book makes you want to learn more about these deadly terrors, and at the same time lock yourself away in a clean room. Definitely a must read for anyone interested in the genre.

I bought this book today and read it.It is an excellent book,fungal diseases are discussed one by one with illustrations,pictures,slides and in some cases microbiology.One can review all the important fungal infections in short time.It is a modern book with WEB SITES at the back.Treatment are also discussed.It is a small 114 page book but covers a vast topic of cutaneous fungal infections.It is helpful for the undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dermatology students.
I shall be very grateful if somebody can donate this book for our Hospital Library !

The editors have really done a fantastic job of compiling psychopharm data into one reference. The reference covers medications by category and class using tons of tables and a standardized layout that allows one to contrast and compare. The "extra touches," such as tables of drug interactions, tables listing the effects of each med on specific neuroreceptors, and tables listing the freq of adverse reactions, make this reference a gem. Several other wonderful things have been thrown in as well--a section on ECT, a section on herbal products, and a patient information sheets that can be copied and passed on to patients. In summary, this reference provides a clear and concise view of psychotropic meds. A must buy!
