The Bacteriophages

Richard Calendar is Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California at Berkeley. He has been studying bacteriophages since 1966.

"In summary, the book is a well-edited, comprehensive survey of phage researches and could be recommended for scientists working in various areas of biology."Immunological Investigations
