- • NEW! Micro Matters animated cases connect concepts across chapters and help students recognize the clinical importance of foundational material. Micro Matters videos are accessible via QR codes in select chapters and are also assignable in MasteringMicrobiology.
- • NEW! Interactive Microbiology is a dynamic suite of interactive tutorials and animations that teach key microbiology concepts including Operons, Biofilms and Quorum Sensing, Complement, and Antibiotic Resistance. Interactive Microbiology actively engages students with each topic, enabling them to learn from manipulating variables, predicting outcomes, and answering formative and summative assessment questions. Each tutorial presents the concept within a real healthcare scenario in order to emphasize problem solving and interest students from the beginning.
- • NEW! Disease in Depth 2-page spreads feature important and representative diseases. These highly visual spreads contain illustrations, micrographs and info-graphics, providing in-depth overviews of selected diseases for comprehensive study and review.
- • NEW! MasteringMicrobiology Disease in Depth coaching activities provide guidance through each disease using personalized hints and feedback and conclude with a prompt for students to complete independent research.
- Robert W. Bauman holds a Ph.D. in Biology from Stanford University, an M.A. in Botany from the University of Texas at Austin, and a B.A. in Biology from the University of Texas at Austin. He is a tenured, full professor of biology in the Department of Mathematics, Sciences, and Engineering at Amarillo College in Amarillo, Texas, where he previously served as chairman of the Department of Biological Sciences. He has been teaching microbiology, botany, and human anatomy and physiology since 1988. In 2004, the students of Amarillo College selected Dr. Bauman as the recipient of the John. F. Mead Faculty Excellence Award.
- His research interests have included the morphology, ecology, and culturing of freshwater algae and photosynthetic protists, the cell biology of marine algae (particularly the deposition of cell walls and intercellular communication), and environmentally triggered chromogenesis in butterflies. His dissertation research at Stanford was on intercellular communication and cell growth in red algae at the Hopkins Marine Station.
- Robert Bauman is the author of another microbiology textbook at Pearson, Microbiology with Diseases by Body System, 3/e (copyright 2012). He is an active member of the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), serving as chairman of the Education Section from 2012-2013, and of the Texas Community College Teachers Association (TCCTA). In 2007, Dr. Bauman initiated an endowment at ASM to fund an annual travel grant for new instructors of microbiology to participate in the ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators.
