Milestones In Microbiology

Few microbiologists have had the occasion or opportunity to read those articles considered milestones in the development of their science. Now Dr. Thomas Brock has collected and translated the papers that form the foundations of microbiology, making them available and accessible to students and practicing microbiologists. Milestones in Microbiology: 1546 to 1940 is a fascinating collection that brings readers into the laboratories of such famous researchers as Leeuwenhoek, Pasteur, Koch, Lister, and many others. Valuable reading for anyone with an interest in the science's historical roots.
