Description

Filled with lively vignettes and cutting-edge research that highlight the intrinsic appeal of microbiology, Bauman’s Second Edition retains the book’s groundbreaking art program, includes a handy new “Microbe-at-a-Glance” feature, offers new options for the Microbiology Place website/CD-Rom, and provides instructors with a new Media Manager presentation package with 30 multi-step animations.

Features

A groundbreaking art program engages as it teaches and works hand-in-hand with the text:

Half-micrograph, half-illustration cell art illustrates microbial structures in a three-dimensional, visually striking way to draw students' interest while also teaching them what cellular structures really look like (example in Chapter 3).
Orientation figures and step-by-step diagrams break complex processes into smaller, more manageable pieces for students. Step numbers in the text are color-coded to correspond with step numbers in the illustrations for seamless text/art integration (example in Chapter 5).
Figure legend questions engage students by asking them to use what they've learned in the text to answer questions about topics featured in the art.
Color-consistent icons and figures are used throughout the text to make it easier for the student to recognize structures and processes from chapter to chapter.

The taxonomic organization of the disease chapters presents microbial diseases by type of pathogen so students can better relate the shared characteristics among given types of microorganisms.

Critical Thinking Questions, located throughout the text and at the end of each chapter, encourage students to apply what they've just read to an additional scenario or case study.
Case Study boxes (in Chapters 19-25) ask students to apply material they have learned in the text to clinical scenarios, often featuring a micrograph or clinical photo that they are asked to interpret.
Student-focused pedagogy includes:

Online “MicroPrep” Pre-Tests are available for each chapter at www.microbiologyplace.com. The pre-tests are designed to be taken prior to reading a given chapter to 1) review topics introduced in previous chapters that are relevant to the chapter at hand, and 2) test students' preconceptions and/or prior knowledge of the chapter's topics.
Learning Objectives are integrated throughout each chapter at the beginning of each new section to give students a preview of topics covered.
Integrated pronunciation and etymology guides help students with pronouncing and remembering vocabulary.
Micrographs and many illustrations include rule bars and TEM/SEM designations to give students a size and scale context for the art.
End-of-chapter summaries and review questions help students review the material.

Chapter-opening vignettes pique students' interest about the topic at hand from page one. Examples: how microbes are used to make chocolate (Ch. 5); how a grilled cheese sandwich allegedly featuring the image of the Virgin Mary may have resisted mold growth for years (new to Ch. 6); contact lens safety (new to Ch 9); SARS (Ch. 14); acne (Ch. 19); plague (Ch. 20); bad oysters (Ch. 21); athlete's foot (Ch. 22); tapeworm (Ch. 23); herpes virus (new to Ch. 24); ebola virus (new to Ch. 25); the role of E. coli in diabetes treatment (Ch. 26.)

New To This Edition

NEW — Microbe at a Glance boxes showcase representative microbes in each of the “disease chapters” [Ch. 19-25]. These boxed "snapshots" include beautiful illustrations of the featured microbe together with succinct summaries of its family, type, and virulence factors and diseases it causes.
NEW - Applying Molecular Technique boxes highlight interesting examples of how molecular techniques (especially those focused on microbial genes and proteins) are being used in microbiology. Examples: how sequencing the genome of P. acnes can lead to better treatments for acne (Ch. 7); how microbes might one day be used to decaffeinate coffee beans (Ch. 8); how scientists were able to quickly sequence the genome for the SARS virus and identify what type of virus it was (Ch. 25).
UPDATED - Highlight and New Frontiers boxes focus on current topics that are designed to immediately grab the reader's attention. Examples: nuclear-waste-eating microbes (Ch. 6); microbes and sushi (Ch. 9); antibacterial soaps (Ch. 9); Botox (Ch. 11); "bird flu" (Ch. 13); mad cow disease (Ch. 13); when kissing causes allergic reactions (Ch. 18); tularemia on Martha's Vineyard (Ch. 20); Typhoid Mary (Ch. 20); killer mold (Ch. 22); "Baghdad boil" suffered by soldiers in Iraq (Ch. 23); and monkeypox (Ch. 24).
Chapter-opening vignettes pique students' interest about the topic at hand from page one.

He received an M.A. degree in botany from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Ph.D. in biology from Stanford University.

His research interests have included the morphology and ecology of freshwater algae, the cell biology of marine algae (particularly the deposition of cell walls and intercellular communication), and environmentally triggered chromogenesis in butterflies. He is a member of the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), Texas Community College Teacher's Association (TCCTA), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and The Lepidopterist's Society. When he is not writing books, he enjoys spending time with his family: gardening, hiking, camping, playing games (with lots of laughter), and reading classics out loud by a crackling fire.
