"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.Binding Type: Paperback

Keep their form for a bit
Style: Medium/Firm, Size: Queen
These pillows are fairly good quality, and keep their form better than what you might pick up at the end of the row at a big box store. After about a month of regular use, they've collapsed visibly from what they were on the first day, but still provide support. They are shipped flat in a container and take some time to plump up, but I didn't notice any strong odor on opening. Like most foam pillows, I expect a trip through an electric clothes dryer will probably fluff the pillows up again. I don't know what makes these "down alternative" as oppose to a regular foam-filled pillow, and there is a sharp distinction from my down pillow. Most notably, the down pillow provides much more support. There would be no mistaking one of these for a down pillow.

Not firm at all
Style: Medium/Firm, Size: Queen
The pillows are listed as firm and they are not fi at all. My kids will enjoy sleeping with them, but not my husband or myself. Total disappointment!

Awful, very soft not firm at all
Color: White, Size: Standard/Queen, Color: White, Size: Standard/Queen
Ordered the Serta Ocean Breeze Breathable Medium/Firm Bed Pillow. The listing is misleading—it shows two pillows in the photo, but only one is included for the $47.00 price. The pillow arrived vacuum-packed and was extremely flat. Despite efforts, I couldn't fluff it back to a usable thickness; the total loft was only about 4 inches. Very disappointed with the quality and presentation. Returned item.

Only 1 pillow
Color: White, Size: Standard/Queen
It is misleading that the picture shows 2 pillows but you get 1 pack, that would mean 2 pillows but what do I know, huh? This is only 1 pillow.
