No biological sciences have more promise for the future of mankind than genetics and microbiology.

Microbiology, which includes genetics, is the story of understanding how the cell works. All life is cellular life ... All animal and plant tissue is made up of cells ... All infectious diseases are caused by invading cells ... Cell division is the process of creating all complex life ... And all genetic material is contained within the cell. The many cellular processes and the remarkable micro-world are presented in stunningly clear micro-videography in Core Biology: Microbiology and Genetics.
