Biology 101: microbiology; germ theory; bacteria; viruses
The Unseen World, René Dubos, 1962
Publisher's blurb:
"We see microbes as chemical machines and, following the development of the germ theory of disease, watch as microbial activity is manipulated to cure and control the physical scourges of mankind. ... [T]he study of microorganisms...supports moral law by showing that the evolution of biological relationships is toward tolerance and mutual aid....[T]hrough intellectual pursuits, mankind can and does grow continuously into a higher form of life."
Steeped in the Teilhard zeitgeist!
