Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointed

Goljan path has some other angles to integrate into you micro studying, but this covers the bulk of the classic microorganism, case presentations, and treatments. Concise and easily readable. The section of Q/A is priceless and sorely lacking in most of the HY titles.

What is does wrong: The book does not flow ... Read More
