Lansing Prescott was Professor of Biology and chair of the department at
Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota until May, 2000. Dr. Prescott
received his B.A. and M.A. in biology from Rice University and his Ph.D.
in biochemistry from Brandeis University. He served as a visiting lecturer
at the University of Georgia in 1980. Dr. Prescott's research interests
are the properties of bacterial aspartate transcarbamylases (particularly
those from Bacillus stearothermophilus and B. psychrophilus and the effect
of toxicants on diatom morphology and physiology. As is the case in small,
liberal arts colleges, one of Dr. Prescott's primary responsibilities was
teaching undergraduates. He has taught courses in Introductory Microbiology
for nursing and allied health students, General Microbiology for majors,
Cell Biology, Biological Chemistry, Immunology, Human Physiology, and Parasitology.
In 1989, he received a faculty achievement award for excellence in teaching.
Presently living just outside Austin, Texas, when he is not engaged in academic
pursuits, Dr. Prescott enjoys listening to music, playing golf and chess,
and reading both fiction and nonfiction. Dr. Prescott's commitment to writing
is long-standing. Besides his involvement in Microbiology and Laboratory
Exercises in Microbiology, now in their 5th editions, he was a contributing
author for a general biology textbook, L.G. Johnson's (1983) Biology. Dubuque,
IA: Wm. C. Brown, and has been a Choice book reviewer for many years. Dr.
Prescott can be reached at prescott@inst.augie.edu.

University. He received his B.A. degree in biology and chemistry from Youngstown
State University in 1964, a M.A. degree in parasitology and microbiology
from Kent State University in 1966 and his Ph.D. in cardiovascular physiology
from Kent State University in 1969. Dr. Harley did postdoctoral work at
Baylor College of Medicine, Argonne National Labs and Vanderbilt University.
In 1972 he accepted a faculty position at Eastern Kentucky University where
he rose through the ranks to full professor and in 1990 was named a Foundation
Professor by the EKU Alumni Association and Board of Reagents. He also holds
full graduate status at the University of Kentucky where he teaches a pathophysiology
course in the graduate program. Dr. Harley's research interests are in parasitology
(abnormal and normal host relationships, biochemistry, life cycle studies,
and pharmacology) and the effects of parasites on normal host physiology.
He has published over 80 research papers and publications and was advisor
to 16 graduate students. Together with Stephen Miller, he wrote the 4th
edition of Zoology, published by WCB/McGraw-Hill.Dr. Harley teaches
general zoology, general biology, human anatomy, microbiology, general physiology,
human physiology and pathophysiology. In addition to his academic
pursuits, Dr. Harley raises and breeds King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, enjoys
working on automobiles, traveling, gardening, reading science journals and
fiction and is a connoisseur in the delicacies of the table. Dr.Harley can

at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO. Dr. Klein received his B.S.
and M.S. degrees in agriculture and agricultural microbiology from the University
of Vermont. After pre-doctoral studies at the University of Tuebingen, Germany,
he received his Ph.D. in microbiology from the Pennsylvania State University.
His research interests are in the area of environmental microbiology, with
major emphases on plant-microbe relationships in the rhizosphere, plant
community succession, and the fungal-bacterial structure of natural systems.
In addition to work in these areas, Dr. Klein has had a long-standing interest
in teaching, especially at the undergraduate level. He has taught courses
in soil, aquatic and industrial microbiology, as well as courses in the
areas of general microbiology, microbial diversity and microbial ecology.
In addition to his contributions to the environmental, food and industrial
microbiology sections of Microbiology, Dr. Klein has edited books on microbial
aspects of weather modification and soil reclamation. He is a member of
the American Academy of Microbiology, and he has served on the editorial
boards of several scientific journals. In addition to his academic interests,
Dr Klein enjoys reading classic German literature such as Theodore Fontane,
Heinrich Heine, Goethe and Nietzsche, sculpting mythical animals in stone,
and sailing "Beetle Cat" on Buzzards Bay, MA in the summertime.
