Principles Of Molecular Virology. 3rd Edition, With Cd-Rom - Tapa blanda

"This new updated edition has an improved format and contains useful additions... These new features should continue to ensure the popularity of this well written book for basic undergraduate teaching. The instructor's edition could be useful to new lecturers or those lecturing on topics outside of their own research interest." --Elizabeth Hoey, The Queen's University of Belfast, in MICROBIOLOGY TODAY (February 2002) Praise for Previous Editions "An excellent virological text for students. It is recommended in many university undergraduate courses for good reason. It is written in an accessible style...well illustrated... I suspect the self-assessment questions will be usefully plundered by those setting examinations. I have no doubt there will be a third edition." --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... Present[s] molecular virology to an undergraduate audience in an easily digestible form." --TRENDS IN MICROBIOLOGY "A short, straightforward, inexpensive paperback that concentrates on the basic principles of molecular virology... Provide[s] a good starting point for non-virologists to rapidly acquire a working knowledge of the area." --TRENDS IN BIOCHEMISTRY "Well worth its price... the text is easy to follow and represents a fantastic blend of basic principles, corresponding techniques and applied views." --ZEIT FUR PFLANZENKRANKHEITEN UND PFLANZENSCHUTZ "There is a remarkable amount of detail included for so small a book. This well-written text provides a very useable introduction to virology. The information provided is current. It would be a worthwhile addition to the library of teachers of undergraduate virology." --DOODY'S REVIEW
