Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classics of Modern Science (Copernicus to Pasteur) These movements of science have produced a Copious literature which has not enjoyed the same attention and reading as imaginative books, because, once the ideas are known and incorporated into the existing body of scientific knowledge, these scientific writings tend to acquire chiefly an historical interest. Yet they are monuments of the advance of civilization, and deserve a better fate. Many of them are still interesting to read as human documents because they illustrate how painfully and slowly man's exact knowledge of verifiable pheno mena has been accumulated. No one outside of the small company of highly trained scientists can read all of them through, yet most of them have sections which are as readable and as exciting as any mod ern novel. It is the purpose of this book to present to the young col lege student and to the general reader some of the more representative of these classics in the literature of science, bringing together in this convenient form at least some reminders of a vast field of reading where one may browse for a lifetime with interest and profit. If it be used in conjunction with a history of science it will readily supply a vivid sense of the movement of the mind of western civilization, in creasing in us a respect for the effort of our ancestors, and inspire us to encourage and to forward the work of contemporary scientists, and restrain us at least from hindering them in their efforts.

Download or read book Pasteur and Modern Science written by Rene J. Dubos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubos's classic biography of Louis Pasteur, originally published in 1960 and for several years out of print is once again made available in this new and expanded hardcover edition. The original work has been enlarged by more than forty illustrations and tables, a new biographical sketch of Dubos, a glossary of technical terms and a chronological outline of Pasteur's career. The book's enduring appeal is a tribute both to its subject and to its author. Few scientists so captured the public imagination as Louis Pasteur, and fewer still had such a dramatic effect on everyday life. Dubos, a Pulitzer prize winner, was a modern biographer almost ideally suited to the task. A distinguished French-born microbiologist of broad culture, Dubos had a deep appreciation for the power and enduring significance of Pasteur's scientific work. To the more personal dimensions of the biographer's task, Dubos brought his keen insight into the wellsprings of human action, behavior, and personality. He thus appreciated the full range of Pasteur's life, including its philosophical, religious, and political dimensions. Finally, Dubos' graceful writing style allowed him to convey the excitement and significance of even the most technical aspects of Pasteur's work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur In the following pages we have endeavoured to present a sketch of the life and work of one of the most remarkable men of science this century has produced. His achievements are so interwoven with the circumstances by which our daily life is surrounded, that it is all but impossible to find anyone who is not directly or indirectly concerned with some part or other of his great life-work. But although the lives of so many have been profoundly affected by his genius and labours, it is only the few who have any acquaintance with the man and the method, to whom and to which these great achievements are due. It is our hope that these pages may raise the veil for many exposing to their view at once a picture of the Great Master, and of the scientific machinery which he knew so well how to set in motion and how to control.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Development of the Chemical and Biological Sciences As regards chronology, the epoch covered in the i present volume is identical with that viewed in the preceding one. But now as regards subject matter we pass on to those diverse phases of the physical world which are the field of the chemist, and to those yet more intricate processes which have to do with living organisms. So radical are the changes here that we seem to be entering new worlds; and yet, here as before, there are intimations of the new discoveries away back in the Greek days. The solution of the problem of respiration will remind us that Anaxagoras half guessed the secret; and in those diversified studies which tell us of the Daltonian atom in its wonderful transmutations, we shall be reminded again of the Clazomcnian philosopher and his successor Democritus.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur: The History of a Mind This book is more than a critique of Pasteur. It'is a contribution to the biological history of a swiftly changing time, a very striking period in the development of science. AS such it should be of interest to all biologists, and especially to all teachers and students of biology and of medicine. For them it was written, and translated. In this time of world upheaval and readjustment, when our young men are looking more and more to France for moral and intellectual ideals, it seems peculiarly apropos that the scientific life of one of her greatest sons, to whom the whole world owes an enormous debt of gratitude, Should be set before them clearly and interestingly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur and His Work Dr. Emile Roux, Member of the Academy of Science and of the Academy of Medicine, Director of the Pasteur Institute, who was one of Pasteur's dearest disciples and his daily collaborator through all that period of his life which was most fertile in discoveries, has presented this book to both Academies. The following lines are taken from his speech to the Academy of Medicine during the sitting of June 21, 1921: - "M. Descour has been good enough to submit the proofs of his book to me; I have read them with the greatest interest, so attractive is Pasteur's work even to those already familiar with it, and also because M. Descour has described it with a precision, an orderliness, and an emotion worthy of so great a subject. In a volume of less than three hundred pages, the author has been able to relate what nobody should be ignorant of in Pasteur's life, and what all who are engaged in scientific work should know of the achievements of this great man."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bechamp or Pasteur?: A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology The progress of natural science, like all other depart ments of knowledge, is associated with the personalities of its workers, and it often happens that the study of a man's life is the surest guide not only to the history of the science, but also to the discovery of neglected records made in days gone by. It is always a matter of absorbing interest to know how and by whom the foundations of natural truth, upon which we build our own more modern structures, were laid. We have long been accustomed to build on stones placed in position by the world-famed Pasteur, but it is not commonly recognized that many of these stones rest upon the deeper foundations laid by Pasteur's con temporary, Antoine Bechamp. It is fitting that one should hesitate to disturb stones set by those already gone from us, but when a substructure has once been revealed, there can be no question as to the liberty of extending the in vestigation. Probably no reader of this book will at first be prepared to accept much that is said in criticism of Pasteur and in worship of Bechamp, but as the perusal proceeds, his eyes will be opened to many references for which the author is in no way responsible except for their collation. It is greatly to be desired that the fundamental work of Bechamp should be far more widely recognized, and a debt is due to the author for throwing the limelight on his work.
