Outbreak: Cases in Real-World Microbiology (ASM Books) 2nd Edition (2020) (PDF) by Rodney P. Anderson

Description

Outbreak: Cases in Real-World Microbiology, 2nd Edition, is the newest edition of this fascinating textbook designed for introductory microbiology students and instructors. Thoroughly revised, this collection of case studies of real-world disease outbreaks, generously illustrated in full color, offers material that directly impacts college-level students, while the book’s unique presentation offers instructors the flexibility to use it effectively in a number of ways.

More than 90 outbreak case studies, organized into six sections according to the human body system affected, illustrate the wide range of diseases caused by microbial pathogens. The studies are presented at differing levels of difficulty and can be taught at all undergraduate levels. Each case study includes questions for students to think about, discuss, and answer, and the book includes an appendix that directs students to the specific reference material on which each case was based, providing the opportunity to investigate further and to apply the reference content to the case being studied.

Each of the six sections of the book concludes with a College Perspective and a Global Perspective case study. The College Perspective provides a direct and practical link between the microbiology course and the daily lives of students. The Global Perspective connects students with outbreaks that have occurred in countries around the world to facilitate understanding of the social, religious, economic, and political values at play in the treatment and prevention of infectious disease. At the end of every section, detailed descriptions offer concise yet complete information on each disease involved in that section.

⭐ This is a good guide and reference for professionals, as an interested
general reader I did not find it an inaccessible read but it was obvious to
me that I may not have been the intended readership.The book is structured
well, with clear, concise contents, index, the text is divided well, there
is good use of bullet points, headings, sub-headings and (importantly given
the title of the book) real world case studies of outbreaks.As an
interested general reader I did find this interesting and informative,
there was unfamiliar medical terminology, but not particularly any
unnecessary jargon, I found it really interesting as I have read some more
popular reads on this topic and thought they were a little shallow. Its all
a million miles away from what anyone will have heard on mainstream media
or press briefings or advice from medical officers.A lot of the contagions
can spread frighteningly quickly, unimpeded by even the most well
co-ordinated, planned and organized responses. This book has not done
anything to change my own views that response and management of outbreaks
require public or social cohesion that it is often not in the gift of
government or medical professions to provide.Although, it may well be
possible for government to totally ruin or scupper it by the actions or
inaction of officials or key decision makers. Given that the book’s focus
if often not on whether or not a response can be mustered but how rapidly,
it proved a sobering read. I found it a good read, although I am interested
in the topic and have read a few, less clinical, books on the topic. It is
a good guide or source for clinicians, probably also academics or
clinicians engaged in research.
