Biography

Lynne McLandsborough

"The descriptions follow a standard format that includes detailed, well written instructions, a technical background and model discussion questions. The exercises could easily be incorporated into any food, or general, microbiology course and would certainly be of value to the less experienced, or to those becoming involved with food microbiology for the first time."
