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

Trends in Biochemistry

"Compact...and realistically priced...Present[s] a good starting point for non-virologists to rapidly acquire a working knowledge of the area."

Good introduction to viruses 2 Aug 2001

By ricard@ants.upc.es

Format:Paperback

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 6 Jun 1999

By A Customer

Format: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.

good textbook for a general virology class, esp. for price 16 April 1999

By A Customer

Format: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!!!

ineffective text book

The author made a huge mistake with this one. It is so basic, meaning a lack of pictures and good graphics to lower its cost, that it ends up driving no point home at all. Read more
