For fans of the "Who Was" series, this lively, accessible, and full-color
chapter book biography shows how a self-taught scientist was the first to
observe the microbial life in and around us. By building his own microscope,
Antony van Leeuwenhoek advanced humanity's understanding of our oft-invisible
world around us.
Microbes are everywhere: in the soil and oceans, in snow, and inside our bodies.
But in Antony van Leeuwenhoek's time, people believed that what they saw with
their own eyes was all that existed in the world. How did a simple tradesman-who
didn't go to college or speak English or Latin like all the other
scientists-change everyone's minds?
Proving that remarkable discoveries can come from the most unexpected people and
places, this eye-opening chapter book, illustrated with lively full-color art,
celebrates the power of curiosity, ingenuity, and persistence.
