Brock biology of microorganisms 14th edition

As authors, we are well aware of this, and have written Brock Biology of Microorganisms in a way that provides both the foundation for the science and the science itself. Mastering the principles of the dynamic field of microbiology today requires understanding the underlying molecular biology. Gone is the day of microbiology as a descriptive science.

Genomics, and all of the various Гўв‚¬Е“omicsГўв‚¬Вќ it has spawned, support content in every chapter of Brock Biology of Microorganisms, reflecting how the omics revolution has transformed all of biology. Гўв‚¬Е“Explore the Microbial WorldГўв‚¬Вќ features focus on specific topics that help students get a feel for the Гўв‚¬Е“big pictureГўв‚¬Вќ in microbiology while simultaneously fueling their scientific curiosity. The new chapter-opening features, titled Гўв‚¬Е“MicrobiologyNow,Гўв‚¬Вќ engage students in cuttingedge research relevant to each chapterГўв‚¬в„ўs content and connect to assignable and assessable MasteringMicrobiology coaching activities. With enhanced and revised artwork and nearly 200 new color photos, Brock Biology of Microorganisms beautifully presents microbiology as the visual science it is. Reorganized and reimagined, the Fourteenth Edition guides students through the six major themes of microbiology in the 21st century as outlined by the American Society of Microbiology Conference on Undergraduate Education (ASMCUE): Evolution, Cell Structure and Function, Metabolic Pathways, Information Flow and Genetics, Microbial Systems, and the Impact of Microorganisms.

Both new coauthors have greatly strengthened the core mission of Brock Biology of Microorganisms: to remain the best learning resource for todayГўв‚¬в„ўs microbiology students and instructors. At Cornell, Dan participates in the Cornell Institute for Biology TeachersГўв‚¬в„ў summer workshop for high school science teachers and codirects the world-famous Summer Course in Microbial Diversity at Woods Hole. Significantly revising the coverage of molecular biology and microbial genetics, Kelly has been highly praised for both her undergraduate teaching and graduate student mentoring at Southern Illinois University. Additionally, for the first time, Brock Biology of Microorganisms is supported by MasteringMicrobiology, PearsonГўв‚¬в„ўs online homework, tutorial, and assessment system.Д®xperienced authors Madigan, Martinko, and Stahl welcome two new coauthors on the Fourteenth Edition: Kelly S. With the Fourteenth Edition, students will benefit from the bookГўв‚¬в„ўs emphasis on cutting-edge research, its seamless integration of and introduction to modern molecular microbiology, and a visually stunning art program revision. For three generations, students and instructors have relied on the accuracy, authority, consistency, and up-to-date science of Brock Biology of Microorganisms to learn the core principles of microbiology and pique their interest in the future of the discipline. Streamlined, completely up to date, and written with deference to the history of microbiology and excitement for the future, the Fourteenth Edition of Brock Biology of Microorganisms is the strongest yet.
