Explore Talaro’s Foundations in Microbiology: Basic Principles (12th Edition) by Barry Chess.
According to the author, “Each chapter opens with a two-page introduction. On the left is a synopsis of the chapter’s contents, while the right side contains the first part of the Case Study, which has been carefully chosen to exhibit microbiology in real-world situations.
Photos, art and micrographs are all part of the chapter-opening pages to help students see the big picture and grasp the relevance of the material they’re about to study. Questions appearing after the chapter opener serve as prompts to the most important aspects of the case, providing students with touchstones to lean on as they learn.
The chapter concludes with the second part of the Case Study, which resolves the microbiological (and occasionally social, political, and economic) aspects of the case. Once again, questions follow, helping students to reinforce their newfound knowledge and use it to develop a more inquisitive view of the broader world.
Truly instructional artwork has always been a hallmark feature of Foundations in Microbiology, and the twelfth edition of the book continues to set the standard. Common sense, backed by many decades of research, has shown that when abstract concepts are explained using scientifically accurate illustrations, understanding is increased.
Powerful artwork that paints a conceptual picture for students is more important than ever for today’s visual learners. Foundations in Microbiology’s art program combines vivid colors, multidimensionality, and self-contained narrative to help students study the challenging concepts of microbiology.
Process figures break down difficult concepts to more clearly illustrate their component parts. Each step is clearly numbered, making the process easy to follow for all types of learners. A distinctive icon identifies each process figure and, when needed, the accompanying legend provides additional explanation.”
