Designed as an upper-level textbook and a reference for researchers, this important book concentrates on central concepts of the bacterial lifestyle. Taking a refreshingly new approach, it present an integrated view of the prokaryotic cell as an organism and as a member of an interacting population. Beginning with a description of cellular structures, the text proceeds through metabolic pathways and metabolic reactions to the genes and regulatory mechanisms. At a higher level of complexity, a discussion of cell differentiation processes is followed by a description of the diversity of prokaryotes and their role in the biosphere. A closing section deals with man and microbes (ie, applied microbiology).

The first text to adopt an integrated view of the prokaryotic cell as an organism and as a member of a population.

Vividly illustrates the diversity of the prokaryotic world - nearly all the metabolic diversity in living organisms is found in microbes.

New developments in applied microbiology highlighted.

Extensive linking between related topics allows easy navigation through the book.  Essential definitions and conclusions highlighted.

Reviews for Biology of the Prokaryotes

Immensely well suited to undergraduate readership in Britain. Sociological Review Hopper provides an accessible and informed introduction to cultural globalization and the critical debates surrounding it. European Journal of Communication Hopper's book should be required reading for anyone wishing to see globalization's big picture . While many books have been written about globalization, almost all of them give culture short shrift and focus on more easily quantifiable matters such as economics and demographics. Understanding Cultural Globalization fills a most important gap in the literature on globalization. It will provide readers with a sophisticated and nuanced view of the complex phenomena that underlie globalization. Steve Jones, University of Illinois Paul Hopper proposes a differentiating and interdisciplinary approach to understanding cultural globalization. This book is an accessible, informative, clear and student-friendly introduction to the breadth of literature and a range of different debates and topics in cultural globalization studies. Luke Martell, University of Sussex Paul Hopper's book is to be welcomed. It offers students a valuable, balanced introduction and a clear pathway through the often complexly overlapping arguments and perspectives covered by the idea of cultural globalization. John Tomlinson, Nottingham Trent University
