4Kiddos Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I recently purchased this book: http://www.amazon.com/Tiny-Creatures-Microbes-Nicola-Davies/dp/0763673153/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443902276&sr=8-1&keywords=tiny+creatures+the+world+of+microbes and we really love it. But, it is way too simple for my oldest son. So, I am trying to find an adult book about microbes that has lots of lovely pictures of the actual germs. I don't really want to freak him out with pictures like from my nursing school and microbiology textbooks of half eroded body parts or something. I am thinking of pictures of what you would see through the lens of a microscope. Is there a field guide sort of book about microbes out there- both pathological and common? Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenDaisies Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have been looking for something like this as well and have not found it. Here is what I have found.A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratoryhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0895828723/ref=pd_aw_sim_14_of_26?ie=UTF8&refRID=J0JCXW3EKK4Z4N9CMD1JI haven't purchased this yet but it looks like what you decribe. However the price tag is high.A Field Guide to Bacteria (Comstock Book)https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0801488540/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_1?qid=1443962611&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=field+gujde+to+bacteriaThis one is more of a naturalists guide to bacteria and doesn't have a lot of pictures.Bacteria: Staph, Strep, Clostridium, and Other Bacteria (A Class of Their Own)https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0778753883/ref=pd_aw_ppdp_sim_14_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=F75EZ4QQ9FSXWK4E437RThis one has cool pictures and art but certainly not a field guide, and is written for children.
