Human Virology by Lh Collier

This second edition of a well received textbook includes major revisions in certain chapters. There is also further discussion on clinically important conditions, and some of the more esoteric section on microbiology have been printed in italics so that the book can be read either at a general level, by reading the italicised material, or as a more advanced text. The bright, bold format, from the first edition has been kept, but has been given a more sophisticated and up-to-date look. Richly illustrated with around 130 line drawings and photographs, Human Virology provides a complete review of this rapidly expanding field of biology for medical, dental and microbiology students. Leslie Collier is as freelance medical editor and writer and was formerly Professor of Virology at the Royal London Hospital. John Oxford is the current holder of this position. Reviews of the first edition 'Collier and Oxford are to be congratulated on producing a textbook for undergraduates which is refreshing in its ability to make the subject interesting and clinically relevant in a format that is both easy and enjoyable to read.' British Journal of Hospital Medicine 'excellent student text which combines scholarship with easy to remember diagrams and memory aides.' Aslib Book Guide 'The book is very well illustrated and the only adjective for the many electronmicrographs is "superb".' J Med Microbiol 'It is a pleasure to recommend Human Virology as a textbook for basic clinical virology.' International Antiviral News.
I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to acquire a good working knowlege on viruses and the prevention and treatment of viral infectionsTravel Wise, Issue 16 Reviews of the first edition 'Collier and Oxford are to be congratulated on producing a textbook for undergraduates which is refreshing in its ability to make the subject interesting and clinically relevant in a format that is both easy and enjoyable to read.'
