The one that started my obseesion with diseases and the heroes who track them down. It is exciting and, even after all these years, still a compelling read

I learned much biology from this book, before I was old enough to take a biology class in high school.

While I understand that when an author is writing a scientific book for the lay person he has to tone down the science a bit, in Microbe Hunters, the author Paul De Kruif grossly over does this, to the point that it becomes an insult to the readers' intelligence. And that's not even my biggest problem with this book. The book was originally published in 1926 and perhaps in it's day, it may not have have been considered racist, but to a modern day reader such as myself, the racism was blatant and offensive !… (mer)

En Cazadores de Microbios se narran los descubrimientos que realizó Anton van Leeuwenhoek, quien con su rudimentario microscopio de una sola lente pulida de una manera particular, definió a los millones de microorganismos que halló en su boca. Desde entonces este hallazgo ha trastornado a toda la humanidad debido a que con el descubrimiento de estos diminutos seres se descubrió la respuesta para sanar muchos padecimientos.
