Microbe hunters
Before microscopes revealed the invisible world, deadly diseases struck without explanation or cure. Paul de Kruif brings to life the pioneering scientists who first glimpsed microbes and revolutionized medicine—from the discovery of bacteria in rainwater to Pasteur's groundbreaking rabies vaccine. This classic work of popular science transforms complex discoveries into thrilling human stories of curiosity, persistence, and scientific breakthrough.
