Product Description

A gripping insight into twenty years that profoundly changed the way we view disease.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book you can't put down, 6 Feb 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Discovery of the Germ (Revolutions in science) (Hardcover)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. At first glance I didn't think that this would be a book that would interest me or hold my attention but it was so well written that I was enthralled throughout. It details the chronological advancement of discovery in germ 'war-fare' and goes into a detailed discription of all the main names associated with vaccines but you never really knew anything about.
I would reccommend this book to anyone, especially people that have any knid of biological science interest.
