A Case-History Approach
The only book to be written from the ground up with thoroughly integrated case histories, this text helps students work through foundational microbiology concepts. Concepts are laid out in a pedagogically consistent, accessible way and students are invited to apply those concepts to clinical contexts they’ll encounter in their future careers. The first edition text and digital content incorporates the feedback of more than 75 preliminary edition adopters and their students, making the content more accurate, accessible, and relevant.
Features
CASE HISTORIES DRIVE THE NARRATIVE
Rather than presenting case studies as an afterthought the way other books do, each chapter was written from the ground up to seamlessly blend core concepts with fascinating real-life scenarios. Many stories take place in a clinician’s office and provide allied health students with relevant examples. Some cases feature events outside of the United States, highlighting current issues in global health.
AN ENGAGING AND ACCESSIBLE ART PROGRAM
Everything in microbiology takes place at a scale smaller than the naked eye can see. With Microbiology: The Human Experience, students learn to visualize important microbial processes and structures with the support of meticulously developed, engaging, and accessible figures and photographs.
A CONSISTENT LEARNING STRUCTURE
Smart in-text pedagogy provides a consistent structure of learning outcomes, summaries, and thought-provoking questions. This keeps students on track with learning the foundational microbiology concepts they’ll need to know as clinicians. InQuizitive and Smartwork5 online homework systems provide meaningful practice with a variety of question types—all with detailed, answer-specific feedback and explanations that coach students while they work problems online.
A DISTINCTIVE TABLE OF CONTENTS
The structure of the text emphasizes topics allied health students are interested in while thoroughly covering the breadth of topics—medical and ecological—that you want to cover in your course.
