When we wrote Introductory Microbiology some very hard decisions had to be
made concerning the contents of the book. We were constrained by the style
of the Studies in Biology series to write a book of no more than 200 pages. In
the end, we decided that students needed a description of what microorganisms
were and how they can be safely manipulated before appreciating what
they can do. We therefore took the decision to base our first book on these
fundamental aspects of the subject.We were convinced at the time, however,
that we could fill a second book with the material that we had omitted from
the first. All we had to do was to persuade a publisher that students need to
know about much more than we could include in that book.
Tim Benton, who edited our Introductory Microbiology, was so pleased with
our proposal that he accepted our ideas and then promptly left Cambridge
University Press to take up an academic career.We are not suggesting that this
career change has any bearing on Tim’s ability to make rational decisions or
on the viability of our proposals. The project was handed on to Barnaby
Willitts. He was very supportive throughout the writing of this book. As the
deadline for submission arose, however, Barnaby left the press (and the
country). The project was then handed to Maria Murphy. We owe all those
who played a part in producing this book a debt of thanks. |
