This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pasteur's Life and Work in Relation to the Advancement of Medical Science The story of the life of such an one should be of interest to all, and if it dealt with the broader problems of our own science the requirements of this occasion would be fully met by it. Furthermore, there is in the review of the progress of any science or of the development of any great idea or broad principle something far more worthy of respect and attention than the simple personal element or the mo mentary interest of the recital. In the world of ideas the novelty of to-day becomes the commonplace of to-morrow. The ideas which came like revelations or inspirations to our fathers are fed to us in our school books, and appear to us to have existed, like the alphabet or the solar sys tem, from the beginning of the world. As we read the history of a past removed from us, perhaps, by but a few generations, we are amazed that men's actions should have been determined by such faulty notions of political, economical, or religious principles, and that they could have been so blind to what is now so clear. And when we read books that within a few years have revolutionized thought, that have been received and acclaimed almost as if they had been divinely inspired, we ask ourselves in vain in what the novelty and the originality could have consisted, so commonplace, so trite even, have those novel and original ideas become; It therefore becomes a pious duty to those who have so raised the general level of our knowledge or of our principles, that while we en joy the fruits of their labors we should still be mindful of their part in it and should bear their names in constant and grateful remembrance.

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."

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.

Download or read book Louis Pasteur written by Albert Keim and published by . This book was released on 1914 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The celebrated French biologist Louis Pasteur was a scientific pioneer; his discoveries and advances led to treatments which saved countless lives. This biography takes us from Pasteur's formative years as a curious and bright child, to the first glimmers of promise he showed through school. His keen understanding of scientific principles, and a drive to enquire, experiment and innovate was soon apparent to his tutors. Pasteur was particularly interested in microbiology; his work upon germ theory and bacteriology revolutionized the idea of disease and the spread of sickness. Pasteur is also remembered for advancing the science of vaccination. The rabies virus - at the time referred to as hydrophobia for its thirst-inducing qualities - was a deadly scourge upon France and wider Europe. Through rigorous experiment, Pasteur found that vaccines administered in a timely manner prevented rabies from progressing to its fatal stage. This discovery paved the way for further advances in vaccines, increasing their significance in disease prevention. Given accolades by the government of France, and famed for retaining his diligence well into his senior years, Pasteur was granted a state funeral for his accomplishments.

Download or read book Bechamp Or Pasteur written by Ethel Douglas Hume and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 306 pages. 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.
