[.uk] The Secret Life of Germs : Observations and Lessons from ... (ISBN 0743421876)

Superficial Analysis:
This book is good if you want to be warned over and over to wash your hands! If you are looking for the difference between viruses and bacteria, actual scientific references or interesting facts about how germs and bacteria live, reproduce and colonize us - look elsewhere. This book was too preachy and didn't have enough information for anyone with a genuine interest in biology, human physiology, or health.

Good PreMicrobio book:
If you are worrying about taking Microbiology, read this book first. It explains Microbiology in understandable terms and also makes this subject quite interesting. When you finally take mirco, you will be ahead of the class

Great, Informative and Fun:
Not at all a dry, scientific read. You'll never look at New York city the same after reading this!

lots of hand washing:
Somewhat interesting and practical but none of the icky pictures and scary stories I was looking for. Lots of handwashing!!

Awful:
I never received this book and I don't know how to get in touch with any other to get my money back.
