As with the first edition, this new edition of Living in a Microbial World is written for students taking a general microbiology course, or a microbiology-based course for non-science majors. The conversational style and use of practical, everyday examples make the essential concepts of microbiology accessible to a wide audience. While using this approach, the text maintains scientific rigor with clear explanations spanning the breadth of microbiology, including health, evolution, ecology, food production, biotechnology, and industrial processes.
Each chapter contains a series of case studies based on microbiology in the news, in history, and in literature. There are questions at the end of each case study and the end of each chapter, as well as an online quiz with help on answering the questions. The text, questions, and cases have been updated to reflect the changing influence of microbiology in the world today, from the microbiome, to new disease outbreaks (Ebola and Zika) and antibiotic resistance, to new biotechnology tools (CRISPR-Cas).
Living in a Microbial World, Second Edition is additionally supported by the Garland Science Learning System. This homework platform is designed to evaluate and improve student performance and allows instructors to select assignments on specific topics and review the performance of the entire class, as well as individual students, via the instructor dashboard. Students receive immediate feedback on their mastery of the topics, and will be better prepared for lectures and classroom discussions. The user-friendly system provides a convenient way to engage students while assessing progress. Performance data can be used to tailor classroom discussion, activities, and lectures to address students' needs precisely and efficiently.

clinicians and academics have access to all the essential information in one authoritative resource.
This CD-ROM is a fully searchable reference resource developed to help
you make the most of the vast amount of information available in Topley & Wilson. It contains all of the text, tables, figures, equations and references from the print edition. The
content is divided into the five subject areas covered by the books (Virology, Bacteriology, Medical Mycology, Parasitology and Immunology) and can be accessed by browsing through
the contents for each subject or by searching across as much or as little of the content as desired using the customizable search function.
The CD-ROM has been
developed to allow easy and intuitive use: each chapter is clearly laid out, with hyperlinks to accompanying figures, tables and references, and useful navigational tools include easily
accessible contents lists, lists of figures and tables for each chapter, and a list of abbreviations available from every screen for quick reference. Further invaluable features allow you to: -
link from references to Medline abstracts - bookmark sections of interest - save favorite searches - print and export elements of the content for further use There is also a
comprehensive Help section. System requirements PC Intel Pentium II processor, Pentium III or higher recommended; Microsoft(R) Windows 98(SE), NT4, ME, 2000, XP; 64 MB of

Описание: This volume of Advances in Microbial Ecology marks a change in the editor- ship of the series. The Editorial Board wishes to take this opportunity to express its gratitude to Martin Alexander, the founding editor and editor of the first five volumes, for his enterprise in establishing the series and in ensuring that Advances has become an outstanding focal point for the identification of new developments in the rapidly expanding field of microbial ecology. With the publication of this volume, we welcome Howard Slater to the Editorial Board. The policies of the Editorial Board remain the same as before. Most con- tributions to Advances in Microbial Ecology will be solicited by the Board. However, individuals are encouraged to submit outlines of unsolicited contri- butions to the Board for consideration for inclusion in the series. Advances is designed to serve an international audience and to provide critical reviews on basic and applied aspects of microbial ecology. Contributions in the present volume are predominantly concerned with the ecology of aquatic microorganisms, but encompass a variety of approaches to this area. The exception is the chapter by J. W. Doran on the role of micro- organisms in the cycling of selenium. G-Y. Rhee discusses the effects of envi- ronmental factors on phytoplankton growth. The factors limiting the produc- tivity of freshwater microbial ecosystems are considered by H. W. Paerl.
