Explore Practical Handbook of Microbiology (4th edition) by Lorrence H. Green & Emanuel Goldman.

Over the years, the Practical Handbook Series has expanded its focus to address the needs of a wider audience. The first edition, published in 1989, was primarily intended for individuals with formal training in microbiology. The second edition broadened this focus to include professionals trained in other disciplines who were utilizing microorganisms as tools or “chemical reagents.” By the third edition, the audience grew to include business professionals seeking a better understanding of microbiology-related industries and investments.

The fourth edition continues this progression, further extending its reach to individuals in various trades and occupations with limited microbiology training but a need for practical, field-specific information. The added chapters aim to highlight the vital role microbiology plays in everyday life, offering insights and knowledge to a diverse range of readers.

Practical Handbook of Microbiology, 4th Edition is a concise and accessible resource offering essential knowledge and practical guidance for working with microorganisms. While valuable to anyone with an interest in microbes, this handbook is specifically designed to benefit four key audiences:

Specialized microbiologists focusing on a specific area of the field.
Professionals from other disciplines using microorganisms as tools or “chemical reagents.”
Business professionals assessing investments in microbiology-based ventures.
Tradespeople and practitioners with limited formal microbiology training who need targeted, practical information.
