"Otherwise, presentation is good, and the running heads that allownavigation within chapters are helpful." (Society for GeneralMicrobiology, 25 May 2011)
"Microbiologists, pathologists, and other biological researchersprovide a reference on the pathogen and its disease thatincorporates the new information and understandings provided bysuch innovations as gene sequencing, improved animal models, andefficient methods for genetic manipulation; all backed by themassive funding and accelerated research associated with The globalwar on terror after the still-unsolved anthrax attack on oppositionpoliticians in 2001. Their topics include the outer structure ofthe Bacillus anthracis spore, the genome, iron acquisitionby the bacteria, anthrax toxins, interactions with macrophages,dissemination through hosts, vaccines, and anthrax as a weapon ofwar and terrorism."
