Book Review : Microbe Hunters

Book Name : Microbe Hunters

Writer of book : Paul Henry de Kruif

Paul Henry de Kruif was an American microbiologist and an author. Microbe Hunters is a timeless science classic. Microbe Hunter is a tale of man's striving to understand the invisible world around him. The book illustrates stories of the scientists, bacteriologists, doctors, and medical technicians who discovered microbes and invented the vaccines to counter them.

This science classic histories the pioneering bacteriological work of the first scientists to eplore the microscopic world. De Kruif reveals the now apparently simple but really fundamental discoveries of science - for instance, how a microbe was first viewed in a clear drop of rain water. For the first time ever, Louis Pasteur discovered that a simple vaccine could save a man from the ravages of rabies by attacking the microbes that cause it.

This book is the briefing for all further reading in microbes, disease etc. Science background is not essential to understand and appreciate this book elaborates history of science.

The book is divided into chapters as .

LEEUWENHOEK: First of the Microbe Hunters,

PASTEUR: Microbes Are a Menace!,

PASTEUR: And the Mad Dog,

ROSS VS. GRASSI: Malaria, etc.

The story of success and failures of each scientist and his hunt is clearly articulated and linked across time so that you get the appreciation of how modern scientists are always standing on shoulders of those before.

The video was showcasing glimpses of Kokan and Konkani food, I couldn't resist sharing the video with students who had accompanied me on that trip. To my delight, they too remembered it vividly and reminisced their memories! Sir, I had eaten Sandan (idli/ cake like local sweet made by adding jackfruit juice) for the first time!
