"It manages to delight, and frequently to entrance, old and new readers and] continues to engage our hearts and minds today with an indescribably brand of affectionate sympathy."--F. Gonzalez-Crussi, from the Introduction

An international bestseller, translated into eighteen languages, Paul de Kruif's classic account of the first scientists to see and learn about the microscopic world continues to fascinate new readers. This is a timeless dramatization of the scientists, bacteriologists, doctors, and medical technicians who discovered the microbes and invented the vaccines to counter them. De Kruif writes about how seemingly simple but really fundamental discovers of science--for instance, how a microbe was first viewed in a clear drop of rain water, and when, for the first time, Louis Pasteur discovered that a simple vaccine could save a man from the ravages of rabies by attacking the microbes that cause it.

JUST BUY IT!!! Finally found what I was looking for
This is the first time I have ever written a review - THATS how good this product is!! It smells like vanilla bean ice cream, it is so deliciously sweet and fragrant. I have been searching for something that leaves a strong yet natural scent on the skin and this is it. It makes me feel like a sweet and soft ethereal fairy princess and is so so so moisturizing on the skin. My bf loves it and has pointed out multiple times how soft my skin is just from a few uses I use it right out of the shower while my skin is still a bit wet. It is lightweight enough where it dries quickly enough for me to put my pajamas on without greasy-ness. I'm at work the morning after and can still lightly smell it on myself If you're looking for a sign - this is it - JUST BUY IT!!! :)

Best body oil!!
I love the smell!!! It’s vanilla but smells like summer in a bottle to me. It does soak in pretty fast in the skin and makes me look glowing but not in a greasy way. I will definitely be repurchasing it.

Add to cart!
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
Works great for myself & hub! I bought them mostly for him because his feet are wrecked, but it’s a 6 pack, so yay me. The cushiony heel was a bonus I didn’t expect, so nice + comfortable to sleep in- usually hate sleeping in socks but since your toes are free, these do not bug at all. Definitely get these

Go buy these heels socks they’re the best
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
I love that they have gel in the heels. I sleep in a pair and even wear a pair to work for extra protection for my heels. They are great to get your heels soft and prepared for the sandal wearing days of summer. They slide on my feet so comfortably because of the great stretch they have. I just love how they feel on my feet , walking in them is very easy and comfy and they don’t slide or is slippery. You can even wash them like regular socks and wear them over and over. I would recommend them to anyone who wants baby soft heels.

Love these
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
These are fantastic if you want a 'foot mask on the go'. They fit easy, the colors are great, and they work! I used them after putting on moisturizer and my heels were smooth and looked great in sandals after! No cracks or dry patches!
