Review:
This book is an ambitious organization of the large number of different microbiological media that have been devised in the last century....One's first impression of this book is one of completeness....Anyone interested in a specific medium should have no trouble finding it in this volume. In addition, this book would be useful as a reference tool for easy comparison of different medium formulations.
