I edited this book and published it, so giving it an objective review is a bit tricky -- well, it's impossible. What I can say about what works about this book though: 1) the basic premise and subject matter is excellent, and will be relevant to anyone interested in the history of biology 2) it gives a wonderful insight into the germ theory, and just how thin are its foundations. The book was originally published in the 1920s, so the English was outdated, and the layout of the only available editions was very poor by today's standards -- those were the days when quotes were hidden inside paragraphs, and paragraphs themselves could be pages long. So editing the text was a big job, but the result has been worth it. We now have a detailed, impeccably referenced (by the author, not me) chronicle of Antoine Bechamp and his work. We also, as it happens, have a well-documented work which rips the scab off Pasteur and exposes him for the snakeoil salesman he was. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Contiene
This volume contains new editions of two books which have been available only sporadically in the decades since their publication. R. Pearson's Pasteur: Plagiarist, Imposter was originally published in 1942, and is a succinct introduction to both Louis Pasteur and Antoine Béchamp, and the reasons behind the troubled relationship that they shared for their entire working lives. Whereas Pearson's work is a valuable introduction to an often complex topic, it is Ethel Douglas Hume's expansive and well-documented Béchamp or Pasteur? A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology which provides the main body of evidence. It covers the main points of contention between Béchamp and Pasteur in depth sufficient to satisfy any degree of scientific or historical scrutiny, and it contains, wherever possible, detailed references to the source material and supporting evidence.
