Pasteur Brewing Louis Pasteur – Science, Health, and Brewing | Robbins, who has a doctorate in the history of science, writes intelligently about Pasteur’s life and work. She also takes a critical look at the extraordinary public acclaim that microbe pioneer Pasteur achieved during his lifetime and how his reputation has changed over the years. Discussed in terms of his personal and professional failings as well as his successes, Pasteur emerges as a less heroic but more believable figure. The book examines his experiments on the role of microbes in fermentation, silkworm diseases, and rabies, as well as the changes in medicine and public perception of disease that resulted from his work. Black-and-white reproductions of photographs, prints, paintings, documents, and artifacts appear throughout the book. A solid addition to the Oxford Portraits in Science series.
