Description
Did you know your body has an “immune army” protecting you—do you know how it works? Who would guess that an unremarkable starfish could help crack a huge scientific mystery? Can the yogurt we drink every day really help us live longer and healthier lives? This book invites you on a micro-world journey: alongside a brilliant scientist you’ll learn how watching minute organisms gave birth to disruptive discoveries and reshaped humanity’s understanding of health, life and death.
Ilya Mechnikov—Russian-French biology titan and Nobel laureate—made trail-blazing contributions to several fundamental sciences. An untrained medical doctor, this zoologist became the founding father of immunology. The book reveals his landmark findings and shows how he hunted for crop-pest solutions, aided vaccine development, fought deadly epidemics and even pioneered the idea of protecting health through diet.
Here you will:
· Witness the birth of great discoveries,
· Draw inspiration from a legendary life,
· And set out on your own path of observation and invention.
Come, let’s bend over the microscope and see how mighty science is born. Maybe the next world-changing discovery will be yours!
