The title of the book purports to offer an introduction to microbiology, however it should be noted that it focusses almost exclusively on bacteria; those interested in microfungi, viruses, etc. will certainly be disappointed as they receive only the most cursory acknowledgement. It should also be noted that this really is an introduction – the reader already moderately well-read in biology will gain very little from this work aside from an easygoing revision of basic bacteriological knowledge. I realise this sounds like a negative review so far, but in fact even as one moderately well-read in biology myself I nonetheless enjoyed Microbes and Man very much; for those familiar with the most basic scientific concepts it is an easy and enjoyable read, and although I would generally advise one to read the most recent of two science books (all else being equal), this nonetheless provides a well-written and still-relevant introduction to the complex relationship between Microbe and Man.… (plus d'informations)
