This series looks at the development of scientific thought and discovery through the lives and achievements of some of the world's greatest scientists. Focusing on the life and work of Louis Pasteur, this book discusses his great contributions to scientific knowledge. It examines his study on fermentation in wine, which led to the "germ theory" of disease; his discovery of a cure for the disease which was destroying the French silk industry; his development of the process which became known as pasteurization and is widely used to kill bacteria in milk; and his work on vaccines for the treatment of anthrax and rabies.
