Modified Mastering Microbiology with Pearson eText — Access Card — for Brock Biology of Microorganisms

Product Description

For courses in general microbiology.
This ISBN is for the Modified Mastering access card. Pearson eText is included.
 
Authoritative. Accurate. Accessible
Brock Biology of Microorganisms sets the standard for accuracy, impeccable scholarship, a visually stunning art program, and the use of cutting edge research to illustrate basic concepts. The text guides students through the six major themes of microbiology – Evolution, Cell Structure and Function, Metabolic Pathways, Information Flow and Genetics, Microbial Systems, and the Impact of Microorganisms – as outlined by the American Society for Microbiology Conference on Undergraduate Education (ASMCUE). This robust and modern approach takes students through the genomics revolution and “omics” maze that has transformed microbiology and shares powerful tools that microbiologists use to probe deeper and further into the microbial world than ever before.
 
The 16th Edition expands the extraordinary art program to ensure students experience microbiology as a visual science while providing an overview of the microbial world with basic principles that students all need to master. Each chapter’s theme focuses on a recent discovery that connects students with the most current science and engages them with exciting, real-world topics.
 
Personalize learning with Modified Mastering Microbiology
By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Mastering Microbiology extends learning and provides students with a platform to practice, learn, and apply knowledge outside of the classroom.

He has also been recognized by the American Red Cross as a major volunteer blood donor for the 24 gallons of blood he has donated since 1967. Mike’s research is focused on phototrophic bacteria that inhabit extreme environments, and for the past 20 years his emphasis has been Antarctic microbiology. Mike has co-edited a major treatise on phototrophic bacteria and served for 10 years as chief editor of the journal Archives of Microbiology. He currently serves on the editorial board of the journals Environmental Microbiology and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. Mike’s other interests include forestry, swimming, reading, and caring for his dogs and horses. He lives on a small farm near a quiet lake with his wife, Nancy, three dogs (Kato, Nut, and Merlyn), and three horses (Eddie, Georgie, and Roscoe).
