La découverte par Louis Pasteur des microbes dans les années 1870 fait partie des pages célèbres de l'histoire des sciences, et même de l'histoire de France. Loin des clichés et des mythes qu'elle a suscitées, Bruno Latour en propose dans ce livre une lecture originale. En étudiant le travail de Pasteur et des pastoriens entre 1870 et 1914, il montre comment la bactériologie et la société française se sont transformées ensemble. C'est ainsi l'invention proprement politique d'une science, d'un savant et d'une époque qui se trouve mise en évidence. Pasteur apparaît, dans les détails de son travail sur les microbes, comme un remarquable sociologue et comme un fin politique, puisqu'il parvient à ajouter les microbes au corps social. Entre l'épistémologie, l'histoire et la sociologie des sciences, ce livre, initialement paru en 1984 (Éd. Anne-Marie Métailié), redonne aux grands hommes les forces minuscules qui les font grands et savants. Cet exemple, devenu classique en histoire sociale des sciences, invite à revenir sur la division entre rapports de force et rapports de raison, entre politique et savoir. C'est l'objet de la seconde partie du livre, qui se présente comme un petit précis de philosophie dans lequel l'auteur se propose de pratiquer, au lieu des réductions qu'impose la division entre science, nature et société, des irréductions. Celles-ci doivent permettre de rendre les sciences et les techniques moins opaques et peut-être moins périlleuses.En étudiant le travail de Pasteur et des pastoriens entre 1870 et 1914, Bruno Latour montre comment la bactériologie et la société française se sont transformées ensemble.

Describes the origins and processes of the nineteenth-century French scientist's quest to understand microbes

An expose of the false germ theory of Pasteur which has so captivated the Medical Profession. The idea that germs cause disease is erroneous and Mr. Pearson explains why.

In 1887, the desperate NSW government of Sir Henry Parkes advertised an international competition for a biological cure for the rabbit plague then ravaging the farms of Australia and New Zealand. In Paris, famous microbiologist Dr Louis Pasteur, struggling to raise the funds to open his prestigious Pasteur Institute, saw the Australasian rabbit competition as the answer to his financial prayers. For Pasteur was convinced he had the biological remedy to the rabbit plague. To Australia came Pasteur's dashing 25-year-old nephew, Adrien Loir, sent to prove Pasteur's remedy and return home within six weeks with the prize money. But Pasteur had not reckoned on sabotage by his greatest scientific rival, or on the self-interest of the competition's Australian and New Zealand judges, or the private agendas of local politicians. Young Loir, determined not to fail his uncle, was in for the fight of his life. Pasteur's Gambit, featuring a cast of characters ranging from great names in science to legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt and a fast-talking Sydney larrikin, is the previously untold true story of an amazing episode in both scientific and national history.

Over fifty years ago, Vannevar Bush released his enormously influential report, Science, the Endless Frontier, which asserted a dichotomy between basic and applied science. This view was at the core of the compact between government and science that led to the golden age of scientific research after World War II—a compact that is currently under severe stress. In this book, Donald Stokes challenges Bush's view and maintains that we can only rebuild the relationship between government and the scientific community when we understand what is wrong with that view.Stokes begins with an analysis of the goals of understanding and use in scientific research. He recasts the widely accepted view of the tension between understanding and use, citing as a model case the fundamental yet use-inspired studies by which Louis Pasteur laid the foundations of microbiology a century ago. Pasteur worked in the era of the "second industrial revolution," when the relationship between basic science and technological change assumed its modern form. Over subsequent decades, technology has been increasingly science-based. But science has been increasingly technology-based--with the choice of problems and the conduct of research often inspired by societal needs. An example is the work of the quantum-effects physicists who are probing the phenomena revealed by the miniaturization of semiconductors from the time of the transistor's discovery after World War II.On this revised, interactive view of science and technology, Stokes builds a convincing case that by recognizing the importance of use-inspired basic research we can frame a new compact between science and government. His conclusions have major implications for both the scientific and policy communities and will be of great interest to those in the broader public who are troubled by the current role of basic science in American democracy.

Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world.

The fascinating story of a Cunard vessel that became the last German flagship, adored by France, and popular around the world TS Bremen was one of the most popular liners operating across the Atlantic. Built for the French as the SS Pasteur, she made a dramatic escape in 1940 carrying 200 tons of French gold bullion reserves to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Requisitioned by the British under Cunard, she became a hospital troopship, carrying 300,000 Allied troops around the world, with a major role in supplying the Battle of El Alamein. Charles de Gaulle claimed that the Pasteur’s contribution "significantly helped bring . . . Hitler to his ultimate end." Post-war she remained in French military service until 1956, conveying French troops to Vietnam, Algeria, and the Suez Crisis. Following lay-up, she was sold to the North German Lloyd Line as their final flagship, refitted and renamed Bremen. The sale sparked violent protests in France, but she was now the pride of the German nation and began her next career. The book contains many previously unpublished images, including spectacular color views of the liner in transatlantic cruising service and her dramatic sinking on her final voyage for demolition in Taiwan in 1974.
