Product Description This new, fully revised second edition of Fundamentals of Molecular Virology is designed for university students learning about virology at the undergraduate or graduate level. Chapters cover most of the major virus families, emphasizing the unique features of each virus family. These chapters are designed to tell stories about the viruses covered, and include information on discovery, diseases and pathogenesis, virus structure, steps in viral replication, and interaction with cellular signaling pathways. This approach portrays the “personality” of each virus, helping students to learn the material and to build up their knowledge of virology, starting with smaller and simpler viruses and proceeding to more complex viruses.
This book contains very well laid out tables, figures, and illustrations which aid in the general understanding of the topic of virology. That however, is the only positive comment I can think of concerning this textbook. This book is a collection of superfluous details all provided to obstruct any kind of introduction into molecular virology.
Some of the provided details can be useful for knowledge of viruses, however, a wide majority of the details are unnecessary and seem as if the author(s) are attempting to utilize space-fillers. For example, the author insists on including the exact size of each protein and gene segment. While this may be effective in showing the differences in sizes between large and small proteins or genes, the meaning of these numbers becomes lost when you are introduced to the plethora of proteins and gene segments related to various viruses. These specific and needless details are just one of the many examples of superfluous details which obstruct the basic understanding of molecular virology. This book is okay.
2nd Speech Center Keygen Sony on this page. I bought it because it was required for an upper-level college class. It is clearly written and easy to understand, but the way they explain things is long-winded. They spend pages to talk about something that can be summarized in one paragraph.
As a result, I don't feel like I've learned very much information after reading through a whole chapter. On the upside, it does have summary pages at the beginning and end of every chapter, so that you can pretty much skip the chapter itself. It also has lovely tables and diagrams. It's to simplified for upper-level college, but it might be a great book for intro-level courses or high school students. I found this book to be more helpful as a review than a primary source of learning, particularly because it is written in a concise manner and because I feel like the explanation of some modes of viral replication were completely lacking.
Now, if the images that accompanied some of the replication processes had been better (looking at you, hepadnavirus), then I could let the lack of information slide, but it seems as if one area slacked, then they both slacked. And I do realize that trying to draw some of these processes is difficult because of how they're occurring in 3D, but many of the figures left a lot to the imagination. Also, it would have been nice to see an attempt to present the same type of information on all the viruses. Super Duty Text Font.
Some of the chapters were so scarce on diseases caused, what the actual virus looks like (more SEMs!), epidemiology, history/origins, etc, while other chapters were rich with this type of information. This, again, left me feeling like this book was incomplete. Fundamentals of Molecular Virology is by far one of the most readable scientific textbooks I have ever come across. The focus is on common characteristics of virus families rather than on individuals. For example, rather than having a chapter just covering the rabies virus this book has a chapter on the Rhabdovirus family and covers the mechanisms that each of the commonly studied rhabdoviruses use for each of the viral life cycle stages.
