John L. Ingraham

John L. Ingraham is an Emeritus Professor of Microbiology at the University of California. He's written a number of books and some articles for magazines including, WINES AND VINES. He lives in Fair Oaks, California where he writes, keeps chickens, gardens, and hikes in the near-by Sierra. Except for a stint in the US Navy and sabbatical leaves, he's lived in California. His latest book, MARCH OF THE MICROBES,was inspired by a question from his hiking companion, Nancy, a consummate bird watcher, "Why don't you write a book on microbe watching?" That's the theme of the book, watching what microbes do in nature.
