Product Description
This #1 selling non-majors microbiology book 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 reader levels, while still addressing reader under-preparedness. The Tenth Edition meets readers at their respective skill levels.
First, the book signals core microbiology content to readers with the new and highly visual Foundation Figures that readers need to understand before moving forward in a chapter. Second, the book gives readers 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. The new Get Ready for Microbiology workbook and online practice and assessment materials help readers prepare for the course.

Money (NYC) - See all my reviews This review is from: Microbiology: An Introduction, Books a la Carte Edition (10th Edition) (Paperback) I'm a nursing student, and I can't stress enough how much I LOVE this book. Gives a pretty good overview of microbial activity, signs & symptoms of the particular infection, antimicrobial agents' mechanisms and side effects. Book seems tailored to nursing students. I constantly refer to this book when antimicrobial drugs come up in class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Good reference, pleasant reading too, By This review is from: Microbiology: An Introduction with MyMicrobiologyPlace Website (10th Edition) (Hardcover) This is a good reference work. ALSO, contrary to a couple of the negative reviews, I found that individual chapters are clear and enjoyable to read, EVEN out of order. Of course the chapters reference one another, because the the subject is inherently complex. That's not the fault of the authors, that's just the nature of the material! Excellent book. I highly recommend it. (Yes, slightly overpriced I suppose, but then so are all such text books, whatever "overpriced" means.) |
