Summary:
For pre-nursing and allied health students (including mixed-majors courses). Encourage your students to explore the invisible Robert Bauman's Microbiology with Diseases by Body System, Fourth Edition retains the hallmark art program and clear writing style that have made his books so successful. The Fourth Edition encourages students to visualize the invisible with new QR codes linking to 18 Video Tutors and 6 Disease in Depth features that motivate students to interact with microbiology content and explore microbiology further. The continued focus on real-world clinical situations prepares students for future opportunities in applied practice and healthcare careers. A more robust optional Mastering Microbiology(R) program works with the text to provide an interactive and personalized learning experience that ensures students learn microbiology both in and out of the classroom.
