Caracteristici

  • Coverage of diseases (Chapters 19-24) is organized by body system (e.g., “Microbial Diseases of the Respiratory System”) rather than by taxonomy, or type of microbe (e.g., “Pathogenic Gram-Positive Cocci and Bacilli”). See Robert Bauman’s other version of this book, entitled Microbiology with Diseases by Taxonomy,for coverage of diseases organized by taxonomy.
  • Anatomy overview illustrations at the start of each disease chapter (Chapters 19-24) help students place diseases and their effects in the context of the human body.
  • Disease at a Glance boxes appearing in the disease chapters (Chapters 19-24) summarize a disease’s causative agent, portal of entry, symptoms, incubation period, susceptible populations, treatment, and prevention. Many of these boxes include full-body illustrations and photos that show routes of transmittal and clinical symptoms to give students a deeper understanding of the disease.
  • Clinical Case Study boxes appear throughout the text and present high-interest clinical cases, which are of particular interest and relevance to pre-nursing students.
  • Chapter-opening vignettes and Highlight Boxes focus on inherently intriguing topics in microbiology, including microbial control in sushi preparation, the use of microbes in chocolate production, and what allows some organisms to glow in the dark.
  • Robert Bauman’s engaging presentation and clear writing style draw students into the course material and make complex structures and processes easier to understand.
  • In-text pedagogical aids include, for each chapter, brief learning objectives that give students a preview of topics to be covered; figure legend questions; frequent and brief critical thinking questions; references to the companion website where students can see animations related to topics in the book; running pronunciation and etymology guides; and end-of-chapter summaries and review questions.

Caracteristici noi

  • Clinical Case Studies now appear throughout the book and provide a patient-centered, real-world connection to concepts presented, focusing on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
  • New and revised Clinical Case Studies have been carefully reviewed by commissioned clinical consultants to ensure that all clinical content is impeccable and up-to-date.
  • NEW! The Beneficial Microbe boxes emphasize the practical and benevolent nature and uses of microbes and help students overcome the common misconception that most microbes are damaging and cause disease.
  • NEW! Applying Molecular Techniques boxes present examples of cutting-edge molecular techniques currently being used in microbiology.
  • Substantially rewritten immunology chapters (Chapters 15-18), reviewed in depth by immunology specialists and classroom instructors, reflect state-of-the-science knowledge about this continually evolving topic and provide students with an accessible framework for learning this material.
  • Color bands at the top of the pages of the disease chapters (Chapters 19-24) make the disease chapters easier to locate.
  • The color palette has been made brighter throughout the book, giving the figures greater vibrancy.
  • An innovative art program that is visually stunning and pedagogically superior includes a variety of figure types and features:
    —Half-illustration/half-micrograph 3-D cellular art is unique among microbiology textbooks and sets a new standard for teaching cellular structure. (See several flagship figures in Chapter 3.)
    —Superior text-art integration helps students visualize complex processes. (See the blue circled step numbers coordinated across the narrative text and the art in Chapter 5.)
    —Colors and icons are used consistently throughout the text to make recognition of structures and processes from chapter to chapter easy for students.
    —160 photographs out of a total of 500 are new to the Second Edition.
  • MasteringMicrobiology ™ is an online assessment and tutorial system designed to help instructors teach more efficiently and pedagogically proven to help students learn. It helps instructors maximize class time with customizable, easy-to-assign, and automatically graded assessments that motivate students to learn outside of class and arrive prepared for lecture. The powerful gradebook provides unique insight into student and class performance even before the first test. As a result, instructors can spend class time where students need it most. The Mastering system empowers students to take charge of their learning through activities aimed at different learning styles, and engages them in learning science through practice and step-by-step guidance–at their convenience, 24/7.
