Mims et al continue their proud tradition of delivering important and often complex material in a simple and informative style. Replete with new and colourful diagrams, impressively detailed images and totally new chapters this book is well formed for integration into the modernmedical course. The new'Key Facts' boxes at the end of each chapter, concisely sum-up the preceeding information, and the MCQ-style questions test your knowledge. Undoubtedly it is a superb resource and a phenomenally written textbook. I can strongly recommendMedical Microbiology 3E as a vital resource to medical learning, and a generally interesting text about basic microbiology and immunological concepts. Mims appears to have an assured position onMedical Student bookshelves the world over.
