Microbiology: An Evolving Science

The most contemporary microbiology textbook is also the most accessible. Extensive new research examples are used to integrate foundational topics with cutting-edge coverage of microbial evolution, genomics, molecular genetics, and biotechnology. Microbiology: An Evolving Science is now more student-friendly, with an authoritative and readable text, a comprehensively updated art program, and an innovative media package.

A Case-History Approach At the core of Microbiology: The Human Experience are case histories that put foundational concepts in a real-world context. The bones are the consistent structure of learning objectives, summaries, and questions that support the clear, accurate, and organized presentation of the content. The connective tissue is the art and highly readable text, by two masterful teachers and an experienced physician assistant, which puts infectious disease front and center and highlights contemporary topics such as the human microbiome.

The most accessible introduction to the microbiology that matters New content―including substantial coverage of recent disease outbreaks (COVID-19 and others), updated IMPACT applications, and integrated patient-centered case histories―drive each chapter’s narrative, keeping students’ interest while ensuring that they learn the important underlying microbiology concepts. Consistent pedagogy in the text and an unparalleled suite of media resources―including new Making Connections tutorial lessons in Smartwork, digital Infectious Disease Flashcards, revised Interactive Instructor’s Guide content with suggestions for applying active learning online, and updated Case Mystery case studies―give students important practice while providing instructors with extensive, book-specific active learning resources. The Second Edition’s highly readable text has been thoughtfully streamlined to deliver the foundational microbiology concepts students will need to know as medical and laboratory professionals via clear explanations they will understand.

Microbiology: An Evolving Science and Microbiology:The Laboratory Experience

The most contemporary microbiology textbook is also the most accessible.Extensive new research examples are used to integrate foundational topics with cutting-edge coverage of microbial evolution, genomics, molecular genetics, and biotechnology. Microbiology: An Evolving Science is now more student-friendly, with an authoritative and readable text, a comprehensively updated art program, and an innovative media package.Written by a microbiologist with over two decades of collective experience both teaching and coordinating lab courses, Microbiology: The Laboratory Experience teaches the science behind the labs. It explains, with a uniquely-engaging authorial voice, the reasons behind the methods. Each lab has a thorough introduction that emphasizes the relevant concepts and applications, and is accompanied by an unparalleled visual program. Microbiology: The Laboratory Experience can be used independently or in tandem with either of Norton’s microbiology textbooks―Microbiology: The Human Experience and Microbiology: An Evolving Science―at an unmatched value.
