The Microbial Challenge provides a fascinating look at human-microbe interactions and is the perfect text for use in non-majors, undergraduate science courses.  Designed to help students better understand the biology of the microbial world and its effects on their lives, this volume covers issues of vital importance, including biological warfare and terrorism, antibiotic resistance, the global impact of microbial diseases, and immunization.

Richly illustrated with many photos from the author's extensive personal collection taken during his numerous trips abroad, The Microbial Challenge is ideal for students pursing a career in allied health and public health.  It may also be used as a secondary text in other biology courses.
