Antoni van LeeuwenhoekGenius Discoverer of Microscopic LifeSeries: Genius Scientists and Their Genius IdeasBy Lisa Yount DetailsDetails For his discoveries of microscopic life, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek is remembered today as one of the great geniuses of science. Using microscopes he made himself, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek peered into exciting new worlds that no one knew existed before. Beginning in the 1670s, he discovered tiny, single-celled living things that he called “little animals.” His curiosity led him to examine lake water, moldy bread, and even the plaque build-up on his own teeth! Van Leeuwenhoek was also the first to see red blood cells and bacteria.Publication Date: 01/01/2015Copyright: 2015Pages: 96Trim Size: 6 x 9Illustrations: Illus. with black-and-white illustrationsGrade Level: 5–upAge Level: 10–upLC Number: 2014031244Dewey: 570.92FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceHardcover978-0-7660-6525-3$28.94$21.70eBook978-0-7660-6529-1$28.94$21.70 Loading… Other books in Genius Scientists and Their Genius Ideas 123 Loading… Other books from the authors 1 Loading… eBook: 978-0-7660-6529-1 List Price: $28.94 Discount Price: $21.70 + Add to wish list Hardcover: 978-0-7660-6525-3 List Price: $28.94 Discount Price: $21.70 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
