Reader's note

This charming little pocket-sized book is a well-loved classic by Kenneth M. Smith. To most of us the microbes are associated with corruption and diseases. Dr. Nicol, formerly Assistant Bacteriologist at the Rothamsted Experimental Station, opens up in these pages a new and fascinating world in which the microbe is seen as an essential member of the recurring cycle which provides us with food and life. Decomposition is as vital to the continuance of life as growth is. The author takes us on a voyage of discovery to observe the microbes' intense struggle for existence. He is an entertaining companion and on the way, he expresses a philosophy of scene considerably in advance of anything of the kind put forward in recent years. He also describes experiments which, with the aid of the simplest kitchen apparatus, will enable the reader to see for himself how the seething millions of the microbe world can be controlled for constructive ends. Just one of the many classic, collectible, vintage books available on our online used bookstore.
