About the Author :
James (Jim) W. Brown's lasting interest in microbiology was sparked by a single lecture on microbial diversity in an undergraduate microbiology class at Ball State University and by the announcement in that class of the discovery of an entirely new kind of living thing, the "archaebacteria." He went on to earn his MS in Microbiology at Miami University and his PhD in the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology program at The Ohio State University. Jim developed and continues to teach senior-level undergraduate lecture and lab courses in microbial diversity at North Carolina State University (NCSU), which are the genesis of this textbook. He was awarded the NCSU Alumni Association Distinguished Undergraduate Professor award in 2014.

Review :
"We desperately needed a book that climbs the big tree, branch by branch, written both for undergraduates and as a reference. Principles of Microbial Diversity is that book!" --Jo Handelsman, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor, Frederick Phineas Rose Professor, Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale University "What an absolutely fabulous book! Jim Brown captures the excitement and transformative impact that microbial diversity has brought to the field of microbiology in a text appropriate for students. Principles of Microbial Diversity belongs on every microbiologist's bookshelf." - Hazel A. Barton; Associate Professor of Biology, Associate Professor of Geosciences, University of Akron "We desperately needed a book that climbs the big tree, branch by branch, written both for undergraduates and as a reference.
