About this product

Product Information

"It manages to delight, and frequently to entrance, old and new readers and] continues to engage our hearts and minds today with an indescribably brand of affectionate sympathy."--F. Gonzalez-Crussi, from the Introduction An international bestseller, translated into eighteen languages, Paul de Kruif's classic account of the first scientists to see and learn about the microscopic world continues to fascinate new readers. This is a timeless dramatization of the scientists, bacteriologists, doctors, and medical technicians who discovered the microbes and invented the vaccines to counter them. De Kruif writes about how seemingly simple but really fundamental discovers of science--for instance, how a microbe was first viewed in a clear drop of rain water, and when, for the first time, Louis Pasteur discovered that a simple vaccine could save a man from the ravages of rabies by attacking the microbes that cause it.

    Biographies of men who did things regading medicine

    I bought this book for a very accelerated young boy. I wished to make him see the importance of men DOing. Sketches of parts of their lives in discovery make up this book. They are all challenged and do their discovery in some phase of medicine. Such does not stop with MICROBE HUNTERS. DeKruif has a number of similar books that make fascinating reading and promote exciting knowledge. They are written at an easy level but not obviously oversimple. Need I say, but it may encourage your interest: THIS BOOK IS A CLASSIC, and you can look that one up if you are in doubt.

    Microbe hunters

    I read this book when I was 13 yers old and I felt in love with it. Is one of the reasons I decided to become in a Biologist.
