Description
René Dubos (1901–1982), a prominent 20th century scientist, humanist, and philosopher, was a prolific author. Affiliated for more than 50 years with The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research/The Rockefeller University, his studies ranged from antibiotics and the role of bacteria in human diseases to formulating broad ecological and environmental questions affecting human health and disease. His seminal writings explore a lifelong belief that a living organism—whether microbe, human being, society, or the Earth itself—could be understood only through its relationships with everything else.
This comprehensive bibliography of more than a thousand works by René Dubos includes brief annotations for each work. The primary works are arranged by books, research articles, essays, short pieces, and unpublished manuscripts. Secondary works about Dubos are arranged by articles, audio-visual recordings, book reviews, and obituaries. A researcher can use this bibliography to explore Dubos’ evolving philosophy, his earnest convictions and prescient warnings, along with his fresh optimist perspectives that remain relevant and continue to grow in importance.
