Microbe Hunters--Then and Now

Abstract

Bloomington, Ill., Medi-Ed Press, 1996. $45.0-936741-11-2 Paul de Kruif's Microbe Hunters, published in 1926, was already 34 years old in 1960, yet its stirring tales of discovery and heroism by the pioneers of microbiology provoked the imagination of at least one budding young microbiologist and influenced the career choices of many senior scientists practicing today.
