Brock Biology of Microorganisms (14th Edition) PDF Book, By Michael T. Madigan, ISBN:, Genres: Biology.
Book Preface Because learning evolves, so do we. Streamlined, completely up to date, and written with deference to the history of microbiology and excitement for the future, the Fourteenth Edition of Brock Biology of Microorganisms is the strongest yet. For three generations, students and instructors have relied on the accuracy, authority, consistency, and up-to-date science of Brock Biology of Microorganisms to learn the core principles of microbiology and pique their interest in the future of the discipline. With the Fourteenth Edition, students will benefit from the book’s emphasis on cutting-edge research, its seamless integration of and introduction to modern molecular microbiology, and a visually stunning art program revision. Additionally, for the first time, Brock Biology of Microorganisms is supported by MasteringMicrobiology, Pearson’s online homework, tutorial, and assessment system. Experienced authors Madigan, Martinko, and Stahl welcome two new coauthors on the Fourteenth Edition: Kelly S. Bender and Daniel H.
Significantly revising the coverage of molecular biology and microbial genetics, Kelly has been highly praised for both her undergraduate teaching and graduate student mentoring at Southern Illinois University. At Cornell, Dan participates in the Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers’ summer workshop for high school science teachers and codirects the world-famous Summer Course in Microbial Diversity at Woods Hole. Both new coauthors have greatly strengthened the core mission of Brock Biology of Microorganisms: to remain the best learning resource for today’s microbiology students and instructors. What’s New in the 14th Edition? Reorganized and reimagined, the Fourteenth Edition guides students through the six major themes of microbiology in the 21st century as outlined by the American Society of Microbiology Conference on Undergraduate Education (ASMCUE): Evolution, Cell Structure and Function, Metabolic Pathways, Information Flow and Genetics, Microbial Systems, and the Impact of Microorganisms. With enhanced and revised artwork and nearly 200 new color photos, Brock Biology of Microorganisms beautifully presents microbiology as the visual science it is. The new chapter-opening features, titled “MicrobiologyNow,” engage students in cuttingedge research relevant to each chapter’s content and connect to assignable and assessable MasteringMicrobiology coaching activities.
“Explore the Microbial World” features focus on specific topics that help students get a feel for the “big picture” in microbiology while simultaneously fueling their scientific curiosity. Genomics, and all of the various “omics” it has spawned, support content in every chapter of Brock Biology of Microorganisms, reflecting how the omics revolution has transformed all of biology. Gone is the day of microbiology as a descriptive science. Mastering the principles of the dynamic field of microbiology today requires understanding the underlying molecular biology. As authors, we are well aware of this, and have written Brock Biology of Microorganisms in a way that provides both the foundation for the science and the science itself. The result is a truly robust and eminently modern treatment of microbiology. To strengthen the learning experience, additional Mastering- Microbiology content includes chapter-specific reading quizzes, MicroLab Tutorials, MicrobiologyNow coaching activities, Clinical Case and MicroCareer coaching activities, animation quizzes, MCAT Prep questions, and many additional study and assessment tools.

Book Preface The authors and Benjamin Cummings Publishers proudlypresent the 13th edition of Brock Biology of Microorganisms (BBOM 13/e). This book is truly a milestone in the annals of microbiology textbooks.
Brock Biology of Microorganisms, and its predecessor, Biology of Microorganisms, has introduced the field of microbiology to students for 41 years, more than any other textbook of microbiology. Nevertheless, although this book goes back over four decades, its two main objectives have remained firm since the first edition was published in 1970: (1) to present the principles of microbiology in a clear and engaging fashion, and (2) to provide the classroom tools necessary for delivering outstanding microbiology courses.
The 13th edition of BBOM fulfills these objectives in new and exciting ways. Veteran textbook authors Madigan, Martinko, and Clark welcome our new coauthor, Dave Stahl, to this edition of BBOM. Dave is one of the world’s foremost experts in microbial ecology and has masterfully crafted an exciting new view of the ecology material in BBOM, including a new chapter devoted entirely to microbial symbioses, a first for any textbook of microbiology. Users will find that the themes of ecology and evolution that have permeated this book since its inception reach new heights in the 13th edition. These fundamental themes also underlie the remaining content of the book—the basic principles of microbiology, the molecular biology and genetics that support microbiology today, the huge diversity of metabolisms and organisms, and the medical and immunological facets of microbiology.
It is our belief that outstanding content coupled with outstanding presentation have come together to make BBOM 13/e the most comprehensive and effective textbook of microbiology available today. What’s New in the 13th Edition? In terms of content and pedagogy, instructors who have used BBOM previously will find the 13th edition to be the same old friend they remember; that is, a book loaded with accurate, upto- the-minute content that is impeccably organized and visually enticing. The 36 chapters in BBOM 13/e are organized into modules by numbered head, which allows instructors to fine-tune course content to the needs of their students. In addition, study aids and review tools are an integral part of the text. Our new MiniQuiz feature, which debuts in the 13th edition, is designed to quiz students’ comprehension as they work their way through each chapter. Also new to this edition is the end-of-chapter review tool called “Big Ideas.” These capsule summaries pull together the key concepts from each numbered section in a wrap-up style that is certain to be a big hit with students, especially the night before examinations!
Our end-of-chapter key terms list, two detailed appendices, a comprehensive glossary, and a thorough index complete the hard copy learning package. Many additional learning resources are available online (see below). In terms of presentation, BBOM 13/e will easily draw in and engage the reader. The book has been designed in a beautiful yet simple fashion that gives the art and pedagogical elements the breathing room they need to be effective and the authors the freedom to present concepts in a more visually appealing way. Supporting the narrative are spectacular illustrations, with every piece of art rendered in a refreshing new style. Moreover, the art complements, and in many cases integrates, the hundreds of photos in BBOM, many of which are new to the 13th edition.
And, as users of BBOM have come to expect, our distinctive illustrations remain the most accurate and consistent of those in any microbiology textbook today. The authors are keenly aware that it is easy to keep piling on new material and fattening up a textbook. In response to this trend, BBOM 13/e went on a diet. With careful attention to content and presentation, BBOM 13/e is actually a shorter book than BBOM 12/e. The authors have carefully considered every topic to ensure that content at any point in the book is a reflection of both what the student already knows and what the student needs to know in a world where microbiology has become the most exciting and relevant of the biological sciences.
