The authoritative #1 textbook for introductory majors microbiology, Brock Biology of Microorganisms continues to set the standard for impeccable scholarship, accuracy, and outstanding illustrations and photos. This book for biology, microbiology, and other science majors balances cutting edge research with the concepts essential for understanding the field of microbiology, including strong coverage of ecology, evolution, and metabolism.
The Fourteenth Edition seamlessly integrates the most current science, paying particular attention to molecular biology and how the genomic revolution has changed and is changing the field. This edition offers a streamlined, modern organization with a consistent level of detail and updated, visually compelling art program. Brock Biology of Microorganisms includes MasteringMicrobiology (R), an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts both in and outside the classroom.
The Fourteenth Edition and MasteringMicrobiology will provide a better teaching and learning experience-for you and your students.
Brock Biology of Microorganisms Plus MasteringMicrobiology is designed to:
Personalize learning: MasteringMicrobiology coaches students through the toughest microbiology topics. Engaging tools help students visualize, practice, and understand crucial content.
Focus on today's learners: Research-based activities, case studies, and engaging activities improve students' ability to solve problems and make connections between concepts.
Teach tough topics with superior art and animations: Outstanding animations, illustrations, and micrographs enable students to understand difficult microbiology concepts and processes.
Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MasteringMicrobiology does not come packaged with this content. If you would like to purchase both the physical text and MasteringMicrobiology search for ISBN-10: 0321897072/ISBN-13: 9780321897077. That package includes ISBN-10: 0321897390/ISBN-13: 9780321897398 and ISBN-10: 0321943732/ISBN-13: 9780321943736.
MasteringMicrobiology is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor.
