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.

Book excerpt: This book is the tale of the mystery of Louis Pasteur and his Library, how he arose from humble beginnings to become the founder of the sciences of microbiology and immunology, how his library was divided and sold to four Americans, none of whom were microbiologists or immunologists but famous in their own rights. The dispersal of la Bibliothèque de Louis Pasteur to the United States, which occurred in the 1960s and 1970s was virtually unknown in France or other countries except for the bibliophiles who purchased and treasured them.In the book, the authors recount the sequence of events that led to the locations of parts of la Bibliothèque in the Huntington Library in San Mateo, California, The University of Alabama in Birmingham, The University of Texas in Austin, and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. The lives of the bibliophiles are also recounted.Now that la Bibliothèque de Louis Pasteur has been reassembled, it will be possible for scholars in the fields of medical science and history to learn more about the character of Louis Pasteur and how he was able to make the discoveries that became the basis of modern-day microbiology and immunology.Yet many mysteries concerning Pasteur and his Bibliothèque remain to be resolved. For instance, how was la Bibliothèque protected during the German occupation of France during World War II? Indeed, it is hoped that some readers will have information that bears on those unanswered questions.

Download or read book Louis Pasteur written by René Vallery-Radot and published by New York : D. Appleton. This book was released on 1885 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early part of the present year the French original of this work was sent to me from Paris by its author. It was accompanied by a letter from M. Pasteur, expressing his desire to have the work translated and published in English. The translator's task was not always an easy one, but it has, I think, been well executed. A few slight abbreviations, for which I am responsible, have been introduced, but in no case do they affect the sense. It was, moreover, found difficult to render into suitable English the title of the original: 'M. Pasteur, Histoire d'un Savant par un Ignorant.' A less piquant and antithetical English title was, therefore, substituted for the French one. This filial tribute, for such it is, was written, under the immediate supervision of M. Pasteur, by his devoted and admiring son-in-law, M. Valery Radot. It is the record of a life of extraordinary scientific ardour and success, the picture of a mind on which facts fall like germs upon a nutritive soil, and, like germs so favoured, undergo rapid increase and multiplication."--
