He analyzes the causes of these disharmonies and explains his reasons for hoping that they may be counteracted by a rational hygiene. Elie Metchnikoff (1845-1916) was Sub-Director of the Pasteur Institute, and a Nobel Prize winner for medicine. Metchnikoff was born in Russia and lived in Paris from 1888, where many of his works were originally published in French. He worked in the fields of embryology, comparative anatomy, pathology, bacteriology and immunology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elie Metchnikoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of the Pacific\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.14w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781410206763\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of the Pacific","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44993674674291,"sku":"9781410206763","price":56.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-prolongation-of-life-optimistic-studies-9781410206763","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
