Louis Pasteur: Free Lance of Science

     I have recently completed reading the book, Louis Pasteur: Free Lance of Science.  It was recommended years ago by the Objectivist, Alex J. Epstein, author of Fossil Fuels Improve The Planet.

Louis Pasteur was a nineteenth century, French scientist who achieved ground-breaking discoveries from work in fields such as: crystals, microbiology and immunology.

Pasteur contributed to food and alcohol manufacturing by studying the science of the production of: vinegar, beer and wine.  The method of pasteurization was named after him in honor of his work.

Pasteur also was an innovator in medicine.  While studying diseases such as: anthrax, gangrene, septicemia, childbirth fever, cholera, erysipelas and rabies, he created the germ theory of disease, discovered immunization techniques, and developed vaccinations for many formerly deadly human illnesses.

I really enjoyed reading this book.  I only wish that Objectivist intellectuals would find more books on medicine that are worthy of endorsement.
