LOUIS PASTEUR by patrice debré

Louis Pasteur was more than just a man; in the words of his latest biographer he was "a living symbol, embodying both science and France." Written for the centenary of Pasteur's death, this book is a comprehensive, insightful examination of his life and work, made far more interesting and accessible by the author's natural flair for describing the details of scientific research with simple, compelling prose.
