1. Introduction to Microbiology : A Case-History
Study Approach (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac) by John L.
Ingraham, Catherine A. Ingraham, Hardcover: 816 pages,
Publisher: Brooks Cole
John Ingraham, a professor of microbiology at University
of California at Davis, and Catherine Ingraham, his
daughter and a practicing physician, utilize their
experience within a case history approach complemented
by a great technology package. Each chapter consistently
begins with a case history, which John Ingraham has
found very motivational to students who are new to the
study of basic science. This unique author team also
provides up-to-the-minute currency. Coverage of new
microbial "events" such as biological warfare, studied
by John and its effects prepared for in Catherine's
office, keeps students interested. Students are exposed
to the unknown, the world of the microbes, through the
known, and the different parts of their own bodies.
Instructors receive powerful PowerPoint slides for all
the illustrations, tables and figures from the text,
plus several animations are at your fingertips.

experiments convey the basic concepts of microbiology.
Students also have the opportunity to explore methods
that allow the safe movement or transfer of microbial
cells from one type of growth environment to another,
classification and identification of microbes, microbial
biochemistry, as well as laboratory exercises from
medical, food, and environmental microbiology.
