From the rear cover

'This book is more than a biography of a great microbiologist; it is a history of microbiology itself; especially during the 19th century. It is more than a book about a great scientist; it presents the philosophy of science, and treats of the socio-economic and historical background which made possible the life and scientific contributions of Pasteur.'
