5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Koch: a life in medicine and bacteriology, September 21, 2003
This review is from: Robert Koch: A Life in Medicine and Bacteriology (Hardcover)
Writing scientific historical biography that is readable is a difficult task, and Prof. Brock has suceeded in this.

A great book about a great man, that in simple language communicates the excitement of a revolutionary time in medicine where a few people in the space of 20 years changed our world forever.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down, and this is in part due to the author communicating his own enthusiasm for his subject. If you are looking for a gift for anyone working in bioscience or biomedicine then you couldn't do better than this book.
