Through a vibrant, engaging approach, this classic gives you a solid grasp of the significance of etiologic agents, the pathogenic processes, epidemiology, and the basis of therapy for infectious diseases.
Part I of Sherris Medical Microbiology opens with a non-technical chapter that explains the nature of infection and the infection agents. The following four chapters provide more detail about the immune response to infection and the prevention, epidemiology, and diagnosis of infectious disease. Parts II through V form the core of the text with chapters on the major viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases. Each of these sections opens with chapters on basic biology, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial agents.

“I put on a brave face for the world, but on the inside I have this nagging fear that I’ll never find a guy who loves me.” “All the good men are already taken.” “The guys I like, are not interested in me. The guys who are interested in me, I don’t like.” “I’ll never keep a boyfriend unless I sleep with him.” If these comments sound like echoes from your heart, you’re not alone. Many women feel just like you do, disillusioned by the seeming scarcity of good marriage prospects or disappointed by their own naïve decisions made in an effort to save a shipwrecked relationship. You want to find your Prince Charming, but all you experience is a sea of toads. Do not despair. Finding Your Prince in a Sea of Toads provides specific advice that will swing the odds in your favor to find a quality man and a lifetime marriage without a load of emotional baggage. As you read Dr. Ryan’s straightforward talk and unpredictable illustrations, he will uncover such topics as: • Communication, your most important skill, • Creative dating, • The beauty curse, • The perils of trying before you buy, • Your crockpot nature, • Why you should never buy a swimsuit at a hardware store, • And much more. Also understand how women have been duped by our culture, why not to sleep with your boyfriend, how to be simply irresistible, and where all the princes are hiding. Avoid the common mistakes that can sabotage your dating now and your marriage later. Since “no decision you make in life will affect your future happiness or misery more than the choice of who you marry,” this book offers a simple plan that decreases stress, protects the feminine heart, increases enjoyment, and ultimately increases your chances of avoiding the toads and living happily ever after in a great marriage with your prince.
