Product Description
Review
Praise for previous editions:
"An excellent virological text for students. It is recommended in many university undergraduate courses for good reason. It is well written in an accessible style... well illustrated.I suspect the self assessment questions will be usefully plundered by those setting examinations."
- Trends in Genetics
"Excellent.. The writing flows easily with good practical examples... an attractive, up-to-date book and is an excellent buy that I can strongly recommend."
- Society for General Microbiology Quarterly
"More suitable for an undergraduate class than any other text I have recently seen... readable and undergraduate-friendly, and it fills a definite niche."
- American Society for Microbiology News
"Compact... and realistically priced... Presents(s) molecular virology to an undergraduate audience is an easily digestible form."
- Trends in Microbiology

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good introduction to viruses,
By ricard@ants.upc.es (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Molecular Virology: Instructions Edition (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book. I was looking for a general introduction to viruses including different approaches and I think that Cann did a pretty good job. I don understand the criticisms: this book does not pretend to be a detailed account of each detail, but an introduction to the field. As a reader looking for this material, it worked perfectly well.

A very poor virology textbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Molecular Virology (1) (Paperback)
Although useful in some parts, particularly, genome replication, it lacks detail. Lack of colour illustrations is poor, and the diagrams are not clear. Dr Alan Cann should improve further editions.

3.0 out of 5 stars
good textbook for a general virology class, esp. for price,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Molecular Virology (1) (Paperback)
Alan Cann's textbook is laid out in an odd order, but his description of general mechanisms of viral gene regulation is wonderfully done. The only thing that could have made this book better is the illistrations. They are pretty bad, but that is what one gets for only $30. Good job Cann!!!
