The title of the book purports to offer an introduction to microbiology, however it should be noted that it focusses almost exclusively on bacteria; those interested in microfungi, viruses, etc. will certainly be disappointed as they receive only the most cursory acknowledgement. It should also be noted that this really is an introduction – the reader already moderately well-read in biology will gain very little from this work aside from an easygoing revision of basic bacteriological knowledge.
