Please note this version is for instructors only; students and
bookstores should purchase 9780815346102. As with the first
edition, this new edition of Living in a Microbial World is written
for students taking a general microbiology course, or a
microbiology-based course for non-science majors. The
conversational style and use of practical, everyday examples make
the essential concepts of microbiology accessible to a wide
audience. While using this approach, the text maintains scientific
rigor with clear explanations spanning the breadth of microbiology,
including health, evolution, ecology, food production,
biotechnology, and industrial processes. Each chapter contains a
series of case studies based on microbiology in the news, in
history, and in literature. There are questions at the end of each
case study and the end of each chapter, as well as an online quiz
with help on answering the questions. The text, questions, and
cases have been updated to reflect the changing influence of
microbiology in the world today, from the microbiome, to new
disease outbreaks (Ebola and Zika) and antibiotic resistance, to
new biotechnology tools (CRISPR-Cas). Living in a Microbial World,
Second Edition is additionally supported by the Garland Science
Learning System. This homework platform is designed to evaluate and
improve student performance and allows instructors to select
assignments on specific topics and review the performance of the
entire class, as well as individual students, via the instructor
dashboard. Students receive immediate feedback on their mastery of
the topics, and will be better prepared for lectures and classroom
discussions. The user-friendly system provides a convenient way to
engage students while assessing progress. Performance data can be
used to tailor classroom discussion, activities, and lectures to
address students' needs precisely and efficiently. For more
