All in a Drop: How Antony van Leeuwenhoek Discovered an Invisible World by Lori Alexander, Vivien Mildenberger

4.0

This juvenile biography shares the story of the self-taught scientist who discovered the field of microbiology in the seventeenth century. Even though this illustrated chapter book is short and accessible, it is very thorough, providing the historical context, scientific background, and cultural details necessary to bring this story to life. Even as an adult, I found this to be an excellent, scholarly introduction to the topic, and I highly recommend it to readers of all ages.
