Medical Microbiology by
The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis.
Bailey and Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology by
Perfect your lab skills with the essential text for diagnostic microbiology! With hundreds of full-color illustrations and step-by-step methods for procedures, this text provides a solid, basic understanding of diagnostic microbiology and also covers more advanced techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Written by noted CLS educator Dr. Patricia Tille, Diagnostic Microbiology has everything you need to get accurate lab test results in class and in clinical practice. More than 800 high-quality, full-color illustrations help you visualize concepts. Expanded sections on parasitology, mycology, and virology allow you to use just one book, eliminating the need to purchase other microbiology textbooks for these topics. Hands-on procedures show exactly what takes place in the lab, including step-by-step methods, photos, and expected results. Case studies allow you to apply your knowledge to diagnostic scenarios and to develop critical thinking skills. Genera and Species boxes provide handy, at-a-glance summaries at the beginning of each organism chapter. Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter provide measurable outcomes to achieve by completing the chapter material. A glossary defines terms at the back of the book and on the Evolve companion website. New! Updated content includes infectious disease trends and new illustrations such as culture plate images of real specimens, complex gram stains, lactophenol cotton blue microscopy, and more. NEW COVID-19 information has been added. UPDATED topics include the Human Microbiome Project, expanded MALDI-TOF applications and molecular diagnostics in conjunction with traditional microbiology, additional streps, and significant news in mycology. EXPANDED glossary defines terms on the Evolve companion website.
Life's Engines by
Life's Engines takes readers deep into the microscopic world to explore how these marvelous creatures made life on Earth possible--and how human life today would cease to exist without them.
The Human Microbiome by
Using techniques such as DNA sequencing, scientists are uncovering the many secrets of the human microbiome. Scientists are learning how the foods we eat and the medicines we take, such as microbe-killing antibiotics, can affect the bugs in our bodies. They are learning more and more about this system that keeps us healthy and how we can protect it in return.
The Gene by
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Mukherjee brings to life the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices.
A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived by
In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species--births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away--until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has blown the lid off what we thought we knew. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story--from 100,000 years ago to the present.
The Importance of Evolution Theory by
The Importance of Evolution examines the core idea behind the theory, how it developed, and the many ways that evolution has influenced daily life, culture, science, and societal change.
Genetics 101 by
A clear and straightforward explanation of genetics in this new edition of the popular 101 series. Our genetic makeup determines so much about who we are, and what we pass on to our children--from eye color, to height, to health, and even our longevity. Genetics 101 breaks down the science of how genes are inherited and passed from parents to offspring, what DNA is and how it works, how your DNA affects your health, and how you can use your personal genomics to find out more about who you are and where you come from. Whether you're looking for a better scientific understanding of genetics, or looking into your own DNA, Genetics 101 is your go-to source to discover more about both yourself and your ancestry.

Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy and Physiology by
For the two-semester A&P laboratory course. Get hands-on with this affordable, integrated A&P lab manual Laboratory Manual for Human Anatomy & Physiology: A Hands-on Approach maximizes learning by using a diverse collection of pre-lab, lab, and post- lab activities, over 100 specially-commissioned photos of anatomical models, and over 50 robust lab videos. Students prepare for labs using a variety of learning modes, such as coloring and labeling activities or watching lab videos. The straightforward, step-by-step lab activities provide concise background information and feature images of anatomical models and cadavers. The variety of anatomical models and cadavers reinforces what students learn from studying actual models in the lab and helps them identify and remember key anatomical structures. The lab manual incorporates the terminology and much of the artwork used in Erin Amerman's Human Anatomy & Physiology text, but can accompany any A&P textbook. The lab manual is available in three versions for your students: Main, Cat, and Pig. The Cat and Pig versions are identical to the Main version except that they include seven additional cat dissection and 9 additional pig dissection exercises, respectively, at the back of the lab manual. Also available with Modified Mastering A&Pnbsp; By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, Mastering personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Mastering A&P provides an extension of learning, allowing students a platform to practice, learn, and apply knowledge outside of the classroom.
