The authors are careful to describe the microbial world as having beneficial effects, not just pathogenic organisms. A superb art program is enhanced with more than 100 new or improved full-color micrographs with precise labels and sizing scales to supplement the text's proven illustration methods, including step-by-step diagrams and orientation figures.  Short chapters and straightforward explanations of processes help keep students focused on key concepts. Active learning pedagogy engages students through the use of figure legend questions and a wide variety of end-of-chapter review questions (with answers at the end of the book). Diseases are organized by body systems, which can facilitate learning for students who are pursuing careers in health care fields and have taken anatomy & physiology courses that also organize topics by body system.
