Microbiology: An Introduction, Books a la Carte Edition Description
Books à la Carte are unbound, three-hole-punch versions of the textbook. This lower cost option is easy to transport and comes with Coursecompass (NOT MasteringMicrobiology).
This #1 selling non-majors microbiology textbook 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 student levels, while still addressing student under-preparedness. The Tenth Edition meets students at their respective skill levels.
First, the book signals core microbiology content to students with the new and highly visual Foundation Figures that students need to understand before moving forward in a chapter. Second, the book gives students 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.

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.

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.)
