Manual Of Bacteriological Technique And Special Bacteriology

By Thomas Bowhill

Book Overview

Glass slides, oil immersion lenses and the birth of modern microbiology: Thomas Bowhill stood in that world. The past lives vividly here. First published in the early twentieth century, Manual Of Bacteriological Technique And Special Bacteriology is a rigorous bacteriology laboratory manual shaped by the needs of real working labs. Drawing on Bowhill's experience in veterinary bacteriology study, it serves as a practical bacteriological techniques guide and a foundational medical microbiology textbook, clarifying the procedures that defined early 20th century bacteriology. From bacterial staining techniques to culture methods for bacteria and the identification of pathogenic organisms, it distils classical microbiology techniques into clear, methodical practice, making it invaluable both as a laboratory reference book and as a historical microbiology text for medical students, veterinary practitioners and curious readers alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This enduring pathogenic bacteria reference speaks to anyone interested in how laboratory science learnt to see, classify and understand the unseen world of microbes, while retaining the period flavour of its original voice. Repurposed today as both a working companion and a piece of scientific heritage, it appeals equally to readers seeking a reliable guide for medical students and to collectors building a serious library of classic scientific works.
