As I completed my Blog 5, my father dramatically walked up to me and held out the one and only "Manual of Environmental Microbiology: Third Edition" (the fourth edition is currently being
drafted) and waited cooly for my reaction. I will admit to "oh my gosh"ing more in that minute than I have in the last week. Those crisp, white pages. That table of contents. The cover is embossed with shining, copper-colored renditions of microbes!
I just thought I should blog on this tremendous event - the acquisition of my first "Manual of..." and textbook with far more text than pictures (as in, WAY more. I've only found one little picture of bacteria under a fluorescence microscope so far).
