Product Description
This fabulous new series takes key scientific developments from the last century and investigates how they came about, their creation or discovery, and their long-term effects. Each book places the development in the context of its time, to increase awareness of some of the amazing discoveries that have helped to shape the world today, and the key people behind each of these scientific milestones. The Discovery of Penicillin takes a reader on a journey from times when simple scratches could result in death, through Fleming's first suspicions about the society today. It explores the contribution of other scientists to this achievement and explains how and why penicillin has had such dramatic effects.
