Louis Pasteur. Scientist-detective. Florence Pino

The science of the XIX century is a real adventure. Physicists and chemists are trying to understand what matter consists of, biologists already know that there are tiny organisms, but they still do not understand what it is, and work in the laboratory is more likely to resemble domestic experiments. At this time, Louis Pasteur makes its amazing discoveries: it discovers microorganisms from which wine spoils and silk carriers die, proves that life cannot arise “out of nothing”, invents the vaccine from rabies... and each new task is as a detective investigation. < /p>

The book received a special prize of Bologna Ragazzi Award in the Non/Fiction category on a prestigious Bologna children's book fair.
