4.0 out of 5 stars The Private Science of Louis Pasteur Review, April 16, 2006
This review is from: The Private Science of Louis Pasteur (Paperback)
Gerald Geison's The Private Science of Louis Pasteur is an excellent and comprehensive biography that effectively delves into the life of one of the worlds greatest and most influential scientists. The book outlines and discusses Pasteur's life and work in an organized manner, starting in a more biographical sense and then discussing the development and implications of each of Pasteur's most important discoveries, including optical isomers, experiments disproving spontaneous generation, the anthrax vaccine, and the rabies vaccine. The book also includes a section explaining Pasteur's legacy in its closing pages. The Private Science of Louis Pasteur also discusses the differences between Pasteur's discoveries in his published papers and those recorded in his private laboratory notebooks. The information in the book concerning the procedures Pasteur used in his experiments is fascinating, albeit hard to understand at times. The book penetrates the secrecy of Pasteur's laboratory work, using Pasteur's personal notebooks, made available only recently. It outlines some of the most important events in scientific history, including the development of the rabies and anthrax vaccines. Louis Pasteur is one of the most influential and important scientists of all time. For this reason, everyone should learn about him and his discoveries, and a great way of doing this is exploring this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entlarvt Pasteur als skrupellosen Lügner!, December 13, 2010
Allen Zeitgenossen Pasteurs, wie z.B. Bechamp, dem »vergessenen« Ethel Douglas Hume in seinem Buch aus dem Jahr 1923 »Pasteur exposed« (Pasteur entlarvt) und allen Wissenschaftlern, die sich später mit dem »Impfen« und Pasteur auseinander g...esetzt haben, wie z.B. dem Forscher R.B. Pearson in seiner Arbeit aus dem Jahre 1942 »The Dream and Lie of Louis Pasteur« (Der Traum und die Lüge des Louis Pasteur) war klar und sie belegten es, daß nichts, was Pasteur jemals behauptete und über das Impfen berichtet wird, den Tatsachen entspricht. Pasteur, ein skrupelloser Betrüger, wurde ganz gezielt von der Regierung Frankreichs eingesetzt, um deren Interessen zu vertreten. Zuerst bekämpfte er die Erkenntnisse, daß es Keime und Bakterien und keine Spontanerzeugung des Lebens gibt, und dann verkauft er all dies, inklusive des »Pasteurisierens« - das Sterilisieren durch Erhitzen - als seine Erkenntnis und betrügt rücksichtslos beim »Impfen«. Im Jahr 1993 wird noch einmal und zwar von sehr pro­minenter Stelle aus benannt und belegt, daß alles was Pasteur über seine Impfstoffe publiziert hatte FREI ERFUNDEN war. Der Princeton-Historiker Prof. Gerald G. Gei-son publizierte 1993 seine 25jährigen Recherchen über Pasteurs Laboraufzeichnun­gen und seine Tagebücher und verglich diese mit seinen »wissenschaftlichen« Publi­kationen.
