As was the case with all the previous editions, this book has truly been a team effort. I am deeply grateful to Kelsey Churchman of Pearson Science and to the team she gathered to produce the fourth edition. Kelsey, dedicated project editor Nicole McFadden, Barbara Yien, project editor of the first two editions, and Robin Pille, project editor of the third edition, helped develop the vision for this fourth edition, coming up with ideas for making it more effective and compelling. As project editor, Nicole also had the unenviable task of coordinating everything and keeping me on track—thank you, Nicole, for being understanding patient, and lenient with the “dead” in deadline. Thank you, Barbara, for years of support and for introducing me to chocolate truffles. I am excited about your growing adventure! I am grateful to Frank Ruggirello for his unflagging encouragement and support of my work and this book . I am also indebted to Daryl Fox, whose early support for this book never wavered.
Sally Peyrefitte—the eagle-eyed—edited the manuscript thoroughly and meticulously, suggesting important changes for clarity, accuracy, and consistency. Kelly Murphy did an incredibly superb job as art development editor, helping to conceptualize new illustrations and suggesting ways to improve the art overall—thank you, Kelly. My friend Ken Probst is responsible for originally creating this book’s amazingly beautiful biological illustrations. My thanks to Precision Graphics for rendering the art in this edition. Nancy Tabor and Lori Bradshaw expertly guided the project through production. Maureen “Mo” Spuhler continued her absolutely incredible job researching photos. I am in your debt, Mo. Rich Robison and Brent Selinger supplied many of the text’s wonderful and unique micrographs. Tamara Newman created the beautiful interior design and the stunning cover.
Thanks to Nichol Dolby and Sam Schwarzlose of Amarillo College; Suzanne Long of Monroe Community College; Mindy Miller-Kittrell of University of Tennessee, Knoxville; Jason Andrus of Meredith College; Tiffany Glaven of University California, Davis; Kathryn Sutton of Clarke College; and Judy Meier Penn of Shoreline Community College for their work on the media and print supplements for this edition. Special thanks are due to Ashley Williams and Denise Wright for managing the supplements, to Shannon Kong in production for her work on the Instructor’s Resource DVD, and to Annie Wang for her management of the extraordinary array of media resources for students and instructors, especially MasteringMicrobiology®. Thanks also to Nan Kemp, Corey Webb, Maddie Boston, and Jordan Roeder, RN for their administrative, editorial, and research assistance. Chris Feldman proofread and checked pages— without her help the book would be less useful. I am always grateful to Neena Bali in Marketing and the amazing Pearson sales representatives for continuing to do a terrific job of keeping in touch with the professors and students who provided so many wonderful suggestions for this textbook. You sales representatives inspire and humble me, and your role on the team deserves more praise than I can express here
