"Although most people are aware that bacteria are all around us,
few would guess that they produce such distinctive and accessible
signs. Whether you're walking on the beach, visiting a zoo or
aquarium, buying groceries, looking for fossils, drinking beer,
traipsing through a swamp, or cleaning scum from beneath a dripping
outdoor faucet, you're surrounded by bacterial field marks. You
don't need a laboratory or fancy equipment to find out what kind of
bacteria are there—this guide will tell you how."—from the
Introduction Bacteria are an integral aspect of every habitat in
which they occur and affect the lives of humans, other animals, and
plants in many ways. Too often, we equate "bacterium" with
"pathogen" and think of bacteria as things to avoid. In a
fascinating guide perfect for naturalists, students, teachers, and
tourists alike, Betsey Dexter Dyer lets the reader know that it is
possible to observe bacteria with all the senses. Many groups of
bacteria can be easily identified in the field (or in the
refrigerator) without a microscope. Written for curious souls of
all ages, A Field Guide to Bacteria opens our eyes—and noses and
ears—to this hidden (or neglected) world around us. Useful
illustrations, including 120 color photographs, accompany Dyer's
lively text throughout.
