Louis Pasteur: The story of his major discoveries

4.9/5 (9326 ratings)

Description:This is a new book in the Science & Discovery series - a series which presents the exciting world of science as only scientists know it. The Science & Discovery books offer clear and enjoyable writing, the elegance of logical ideas, and glimpses of the scientists's new and unfolding view of the universe in mid-twentieth century.There have been many biographies of Pasteur; this one is distinguished by the fact that it devotes itself to a detailed and enthralling account of the investigations he carried out. Pasteur, the author notes, worked "like a brilliant detective" in solving the scientific mysteries he tackled, and this book tells exactly how he solved them. It is the story of ten investigations: on rabies, anthrax, chicken cholera, silk worm diseases, the diseases of wine, the process of fermentation, the brewing of beer, the formation of vinegar, the question of spontaneous generation, and the puzzle of the paradoxical molecules that rotated light in opposite directions. Most of these inquiries led to such far-reaching discoveries that they are still as fresh today as when Pasteur initiated them.Some of the investigations sprang merely out of Pasteur's curiosity; on some he was called in, like a detective, to deal with a crime (of nature) or an emergency. Each of the stories here goes beyond the scientific inquiries itself to tell about the dramatic circumstances in which it was made - the political, economic, and personal setting and the consequences of Pasteur's discoveries at the time.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
