Principles of Molecular Virology by Alan J Cann
Principles of Molecular Virology, Second Edition, provides an essential introduction to modern virology. Focusing on a molecular approach, this text presents the principles of virology in a clear and concise manner that gives students of biology or medicine a broad, comprehensive understanding of the subject. The text explores and explains the fundamental aspects of virology including structure of virus particles and genomes, virus replication, control of gene expression, virus pathogenesis (including AIDS), and detailed, up-to-date discussions of prion diseases. This new edition is expanded and has been completely revised and updated with many new figures and tables which complement the text. The summaries and new self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter provide excellent revision aids.
Reviews of the First Edition "..Excellent...the writing flows easily with good practical examples...an attractive, up-to-date book and is an excellent buy that I can strongly recommend." --SOCIETY FOR GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY QUARTERLY "More suitable for an undergraduate class than any other text I have recently seen...readable and undergraduate-friendly, and it fills a definite niche." --AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY QUARTERLY "...Compact...and realistically priced...Present(s) molecular virology to an undergraduate audience in an easily digestible form." --TRENDS IN MICROBIOLOGY "...A short, straightforward, inexpensive paperback that concentrates on the basic principles of molecular virology...provide(s) a good starting point for non-virologists to rapidly acquire a working knowledge of the area." --TRENDS IN BIOCHEMISTRY Praise for the Second Edition "An excellent virological text for students. It is recommmended in many university undergraduate courses for good reason. It is written in an accessible style... well illustrated... I suspect the self-assessment questions will be usefully plundered by those setting examinations. I have no doubt there will be a third edition." --TRENDS IN GENETICS "More suitable for an undergraduate class than any other text I have recently seen... Readable and undergraduate friendly, and it fills a definite niche." --AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY NEWS "Well worth its price... the text is easy to follow and represents a fantastic blend of basic principles, corresponding techniques and applied views." --E.F. Elstner, in ZEIT FUR PFLANZENKRANKHEITEN UND PFLANZENSCHUTZ "There is a remarkable amount of detail included for so small a book. This well-written text provides a very useable introduction to virology. The information provided is current. It would be a worthwhile addition to the library of teachers of undergraduate virology." --Jerry L. Taylor, Medical College of Wisconsin, DOODY'S REVIEW
