Download or read book Louis Pasteur written by Patrice Debré and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2000-11-27 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Louis Pasteur, the distinguished French immunologist and physician Patrice Debre offers the most extensive, balanced, and detailed account of the scientist's life, struggles, and contributions yet written. First published in France in 1994 to mark the centenary of Pasteur's death in 1895, Debre's biography draws heavily on Pasteur's own scientific notebooks and writings to present a complete critical account of his discoveries and of the controversies they raised with other scientists, occasionally with his closest associates, and with historians ever since. Debre provides an extremely well documented narrative of Pasteur's life and family, as well as his relations with the French government and the established scientific and medical communities. And he places Pasteur in historical context, describing the politics and culture of nineteenth-century France and sketching portraits of the other scientists, including Marcelin Berthelot, Emile Littre, and Claude Bernard, whose life or work became intertwined with Pasteur's.
Download or read book The Private Science of Louis Pasteur written by Gerald L. Geison and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Private Science of Louis Pasteur, Gerald Geison has written a controversial biography that finally penetrates the secrecy that has surrounded much of this legendary scientist's laboratory work. Geison uses Pasteur's laboratory notebooks, made available only recently, and his published papers to present a rich and full account of some of the most famous episodes in the history of science and their darker sides--for example, Pasteur's rush to develop the rabies vaccine and the human risks his haste entailed. The discrepancies between the public record and the "private science" of Louis Pasteur tell us as much about the man as they do about the highly competitive and political world he learned to master. Although experimental ingenuity served Pasteur well, he also owed much of his success to the polemical virtuosity and political savvy that won him unprecedented financial support from the French state during the late nineteenth century. But a close look at his greatest achievements raises ethical issues. In the case of Pasteur's widely publicized anthrax vaccine, Geison reveals its initial defects and how Pasteur, in order to avoid embarrassment, secretly incorporated a rival colleague's findings to make his version of the vaccine work. Pasteur's premature decision to apply his rabies treatment to his first animal-bite victims raises even deeper questions and must be understood not only in terms of the ethics of human experimentation and scientific method, but also in light of Pasteur's shift from a biological theory of immunity to a chemical theory--similar to ones he had often disparaged when advanced by his competitors. Through his vivid reconstruction of the professional rivalries as well as the national adulation that surrounded Pasteur, Geison places him in his wider cultural context. In giving Pasteur the close scrutiny his fame and achievements deserve, Geison's book offers compelling reading for anyone interested in the social and ethical dimensions of science.

Download or read book Pasteur written by Émile Duclaux and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French biologist and chemist Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) is considered the founder of modern microbiology. His discoveries provided the conclusive evidence necessary to firmly establish the theory of germs, i.e. the fact that microbes are the primary cause of several diseases. His research disproved the theory of spontaneous generation and paved the way to a new concept of hygiene across the world. He invented the pasteurization process to remove pathogens from food and developed the first vaccine against rabies in 1885. Thanks to the impact of his studies, many diseases were eradicated in the following decades, relieving humanity from several epidemics that had erupted throughout human history. Joseph Lister, shortly after, revolutionized surgery by introducing antiseptic methods, with surgeons that now started to wash their hands before seeing a patient. After Pasteur's death, his assistant Émile Duclaux became the director of the Institute Pasteur, founded in 1887 in Paris and wrote "The History of a Mind" dedicated to the memory of his mentor.
