Description:

Tailored for the introductory microbiology laboratory course, the book features approximately 400 color photographs that demonstrate the results of laboratory procedures and show the morphology of important microorganisms. The photographs demonstrate the unique characteristics of common microorganisms and also their appearance after various stains and tests. Many of the photographs are labeled to point out important structures. The clearly written descriptions accompanying the photos helps students understand and, in some cases, achieve the results depicted in the photographs. The Atlas is appropriate for both majors and non-majors.

The "No Time" Drive In is Sandy Harman's first writing venture. Using her recollections of a fun high school four years and her life experiences, Sandy added depth to the characters and was able to bring a female perspective to Steve Alexander's testosterone-based writing style, Lol. We hope you laughed.Sandy is a retired middle school science teacher and lives in Florida. She has two sons and a grandson.Her high school years were filled with fun and excitement and she was involved in many extracurricular activities. She has plans to continue writing and will soon be collaborating with Steve on a second novel. Steven Robert Alexander, Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) U.S. Army has been writing…
