The authors have carefully crafted a lively narrative with stunning, detailed illustrations to bring key concepts to life and promote a lifelong passion for the microbial sciences. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMicrobe\u003c/i\u003e is replete with case studies, ranging from a MRSA (methicillin-resistant \u003ci\u003eStaphylococcus aureus\u003c/i\u003e) outbreak in an NFL locker room to the search for life outside of Earth, that illustrate relevant microbiology concepts in real-world scenarios. To further engage students and deepen their understanding of both the principles and practice of science, each chapter includes activities that encourage students to demonstrate and apply their knowledge of the topics presented. Questions are posed throughout each chapter to introduce important subjects and to prompt students to actively participate in the learning experience. This new edition also features highlight boxes exploring the varied roles and applications of microbes at work in our world as well as profiles of the diverse array of individuals who work in and adjacent to the field of microbiology. \u003cp\u003eAn equally valuable tool for instructors of all classroom modalities, \u003ci\u003eMicrobe\u003c/i\u003e integrates key concepts, learning outcomes, and fundamental statements directly from the \u003ci\u003eASM Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Microbiology\u003c/i\u003e. The new edition also provides robust instructor materials, including slides with figures and tables from the text, access to more than 250 peer-reviewed questions for microbiology education, and an instructors\u0026#8217; manual featuring answers for end-of-chapter questions as well as supplemental exercises and resources to challenge students to dig deeper into their understanding of the material. \u003cP\u003e\u003cB\u003e\u0026#8220;This is a fantastic text that makes microbiology accessible to students. The new edition highlights a One Health perspective and the impact of microbiology on society and the human experience. The stories of Microbiologists at Work reflect the diversity of individuals making contributions to the field through a range of career paths. The conversational, engaging writing style; the learning outcomes that provide roadmaps for guided reading; and the clear, concise figures make this a text my students enjoy.\u0026#8221;\u003c/B\u003e \u003cP\u003e\u0026#8212;Mary E. Allen, Professor of Biology \u0026 Coordinator of Academic Assessment, Hartwick College \u003cP\u003e\u003cB\u003e\u0026#8220;\u003ci\u003eMicrobe\u003c/i\u003e is one of the best undergraduate textbooks I have used to teach microbial metabolism. It has the perfect mix of examples from both the research literature and the real world for explaining challenging concepts to students. The new human gut microbiome chapter is amazing and does a great job of tying in concepts students learn in earlier chapters.\u0026#8221;\u003c/b\u003e \u003cP\u003e\u0026#8212;Kersten Schroeder, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences-College of Medicine, University of Central Florida |
