Description
"In 1841, a quiet, curious boy who stuttered when nervous committed to become a surgeon--a profession then more feared than respected. Through study, persistence, and careful research, Joseph Lister connected unsanitary conditions to infections. Despite others scoffing at the idea of washing their hands before operating, Lister slowly changed the way all surgeons work, saving countless lives.
,In a timely look at germs and the importance of following science, Lori Alexander's accessible and engrossing biography of the father of modern surgery contains fun -- and sometimes gruesome -- facts about the history of science and engaging full-color illustrations by Daniel Duncan.",Provided by publisher.
