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.

Book excerpt: 32 Back to the Moon and On to Mars! by Marsha Freeman The Commission on Space sets a national goal: A 50-year mission to colonize the Moon and Mars-and in the process revitalize the economy and restore the nation's cultural optimism. [...] The environmentalist movement is best understood as a cult , worshiping a pagan "Mother Nature" and rejecting the tradit ional values of Judeo-Christian culture that are exemplif ied by the verse f rom Genesis: "Be frui t ful and mult iply, and dominate the earth and subdue it." The char- acter of environmental ism is demonstrated by the extent to which it overlaps the drug culture, the gay rights. [...] The introduct ion of antibiotics, first the sulfa drugs in the 1930s, then penici l l in in the early 1940s, proved much more efficacious in the treatment of infec- tious disease. [...] I think in part that grew out of a con- cern on the part of the Soviets that was really one of the bases for the effort they put into the graphite machines: it was a long time before the Soviets were confident about their ability to fabri- cate large pressure vessels of the nec- essary quality for a large reactor. [...] The Princeton Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) was the first of the ma- jor tokamaks currently in operation in the wor ld today, ranking with the JT-60 in Japan and the JET device built in England as a joint project of the Eu- ropean Communit ies.

This book was released on 2001-11-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicling Louis Pasteur's rise from humble beginnings to international fame, Louis Pasteur and the Hidden World of Microbes investigates the complex life of a man who revolutionized our understanding of disease. Alongside Pasteur's pioneering work with microorganisms, his innovative use of heat to kill harmful organisms in food--a process now known as "pasteurization"--and his development of the rabies vaccine, Louise Robbins places Pasteur in the context of his risky scientific methods and his rigid family and political beliefs. Robbins's reveals a man of genius with sometimes troubling convictions. Louis Pasteur and the Hidden World of Microbes is a fascinating look at one of the most important scientific minds of the last two centuries.

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.
