5.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary story with a powerful message for young people and adults!, July 23, 2008

This review is from: The Courage of Dr. Lister (Messner Biography) (Hardcover)
This is a simple yet beautifully written book that tells a vital and powerful story. Dr. Joseph Lister faced persecution from the British medical establishment because he had discovered the crucial connection between germs and hospital infections. Almost nobody could stretch their minds around the idea that microscopic creatures were killing people in vast numbers in horrendous ways.
Dr. Lister's dedication to his patients and to scientific truth are inspiring. His ultimate vindication is wondrous and wonderful! This is a great read for children and adults. HBO ought to make a film about Dr. Lister!
