Publisher's Synopsis
The book titled ""The Physiological Theory of Fermentation and the Germ Theory and Its Application to Medicine and Surgery"" is authored by Louis Pasteur, a renowned French microbiologist and chemist. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Pasteur's groundbreaking research on fermentation and the germ theory, which revolutionized the field of microbiology.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Pasteur's research on fermentation. In this section, he discusses the various types of fermentation, including alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation, and explains the role of microorganisms in the process.The second part of the book is dedicated to Pasteur's germ theory, which proposes that many diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. He provides evidence to support this theory and discusses its implications for medicine and surgery.Throughout the book, Pasteur emphasizes the importance of scientific experimentation and observation in understanding the natural world. He also highlights the practical applications of his research, such as the development of pasteurization techniques to prevent spoilage in food and the use of antiseptics in surgery to prevent infection.Overall, ""The Physiological Theory of Fermentation and the Germ Theory and Its Application to Medicine and Surgery"" is a seminal work in the history of microbiology and a testament to Pasteur's contributions to the field.THIS 114 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Scientific Papers: Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology: V38 Harvard Classics, by Louis Pasteur.
