Introduction to Microbiology: A Case-History Study Approach (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac) (Available Titles Cengagenow)
I like the writing style of this text. It is almost conversational at times. I imagine that students find your text easy and pleasant to read."I love the pictures, overall they are beautiful..."The case studies are very interesting and I think the student will like them."I am very pleased with the authors' presentation of basic and applied microbiology for students preparing for careers in the health sciences. In particular, I like the emphasis on the purpose of microbial metabolism and the relationship between metabolism and genetics. There two topics are invariably the most difficult for students to grasp, and the author's presentation of these concepts is very clear and original. The logical progression from nutrient uptake to biosynthesis and polymerization places the information in a context that students can readily understand and assimilate."The writing style is lively and engaging without sacrificing an intelligent and informative tone. Concepts are presented in a clear and logical manner, which allows students to readily understand and process information as they read.
