	Microbiology: An Introduction, Books a la Carte Edition (10th Edition) by: Gerard J. Tortora publisher: Benjamin Cummings, published: 2009-03-19 ASIN: 0321582039 EAN: 9780321582034 sales rank: 17755 Books à la Carte are unbound, three-hole-punch versions of the textbook. This lower cost option is easy to transport and comes with same access code or media that would be packaged with the bound book.   This #1 selling non-majors microbiology textbook is praised for its straightforward presentation of complex topics, careful balance of concepts and applications, and proven art that teaches. In its Tenth Edition, Tortora/Funke/Case responds to the #1 challenge of the microbiology course: teaching a wide range of student levels, while still addressing student under-preparedness. The Tenth Edition meets students at their respective skill levels.   First, the book signals core microbiology content to students with the new and highly visual Foundation Figures that students need to understand before moving forward in a chapter. Second, the book gives students frequent opportunities for self-assessment with the new Check Your Understanding questions that correspond by number to the chapter Learning Objectives. Then, a new “visual learning” orientation includes: an increased number of the popular Diseases in Focus boxes, newly illustrated end-of-chapter Study Outlines that provide students with visual cues to remind them of chapter content, and new end-of-chapter Draw It questions. The all-new art program is contemporary without compromising Tortora/Funke/Case’s hallmark reputation for precision and clarity. Content revisions include substantially revised immunity chapters and an increased emphasis on antimicrobial resistance, bioterrorism, and biofilms.     This Package 0321582039 / 9780321582034 Books a la Carte Plus for Microbiology: An Introduction contains: 0321580001 / 9780321580009 Books a la Carte for Microbiology: An Introduction 0321581962 / 9780321581969 Study Card for Microbiology: An Introduction Access to the MyMicrobiologyPlace Website (www.microbiologyplace.com) via a bind-in access code card located in the front of the textbook.

	Secret Life of the Brewer's Yeast: A Microbiology Tale by: David Wooster published: 2011-12-13 ASIN: B006LWWZKO sales rank: 208258 "Secret Life of the Brewer's Yeast" is a fictional novel as told by Benjamin Ketchum, a microbiologist who lives in Montana and has just one year left to gain his tenure. Ben also recently lost his big anthrax grant so now he's forced to turn to the brewer's yeast, a microbe he knows virtually nothing about, just to keep his lab up and running. On a whim, the bacteriologist buys a ticket to Egypt - birthplace of perhaps the world's oldest civilization - where he learns all he can about the yeast's role in helping build the pyramids, as well as the history of brewing, baking, and winemaking. Next, Ben travels to a more recent example of a beer culture - Munich, Germany - where he learns the yeast's role in helping bring about Western civilization including the birth of lager beers and the field of biochemistry. Towards the end of the story, Ben attends a symposium in Seattle on the brewer's yeast, where he uncovers all the ways the yeast has been helping scientists accomplish such diverse tasks as manufacturing valuable human proteins like insulin, biofuels such as ethanol, finding clues about human aging, detecting poisonous gases in subway systems, and even gaining insight into the origins of cancer. This book is part one of a longer novel called "Cystic Fibrosis & the Brewer's Yeast" by the same author.
