Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur was one of the first scientists to understand the importance of microorganisms, both good and bad. Some microorganisms are helpful, such as those that cause grapes to ferment and become wine, or those that cause milk to ripen and become cheese. Among his most important discoveries was pasteurization. This process kills harmful bacteria in liquids such as wine and milk, without destroying the liquid. For his many contributions to both medicine and industry, Louis Pasteur is remembered as one of the great minds of science. Your readers will love the story of this exceptional man.
* Reviews *
Where would we be today without the landmark discoveries of Louis Pasteur, one of the Great Minds of Science? In carefully documented experiments, Pasteur explored the microbiology of fermentation and the souring of milk. His method of preserving milk by heating is the one most students associate with his name. But Pasteur's work developing a treatment for rabies is equally important in the history of the science. His lifetime work has helped us all.
