Book Synopsis Fathers of Biology by : Charles McRae
Download or read book Fathers of Biology written by Charles McRae and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fathers of Biology It is hoped that the account given, in the following pages, of the lives of five great naturalists may not be found devoid of interest. The work of each one of them marked a definite advance in the science of Biology. There is often among students of anatomy and physiology a tendency to imagine that the facts with which they are now being made familiar have all been established by recent observation and experiment. But even the slight knowledge of the history of Biology, which may be obtained from a perusal of this little book, will show that, so far from such being the case, this branch of science is of venerable antiquity. And, further, if in the place of this misconception a desire is aroused in the reader for a fuller acquaintance with the writings of the early anatomists the chief aim of the author will have been fulfilled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Biology The present volume is published in response to a demand for a special adaptation Of the author's Foundations of Biology, Fourth Edition, designed especially for use in courses in animal biology and general zoology in which plants are considered only inci dentally in their relations with animals. The essential plan as well as much of the material is, with purpose, the same in both books since the author is apparently far from alone in the convio tion that the general biological viewpoint affords the natural ap proach to an introductory survey of either animal or plant science.

Download or read book The Wonder of Life (Classic Reprint) written by John Arthur Thomson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonder of Life HE aim of this book is to illustrate the ever-growing wonder of animated Nature - with especial reference to animal life. It is an unconventional introduction to Natural History and Biology, taking broad views of the actual lives of living creatures and working inwards. It is therefore complementary to other books which begin with the minute analysis of the individual. The author hopes that it may be found useful in nature-study as a continuation of his Biology of the Seasons, and that teachers of Zoology may recommend it to their students as an introduction to the study of some of the problems for the discussion of which our crowded curricula leave little time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology and Medicine But while conceding to the fullest extent the practical bene fits which attend the separate cultivation of different depart mentsof biology, I would even more strongly emphasize the essential unity of the biological sciences. In essence these sciences constitute but one science, and the great service of the word biology in its present use is to embody this concep tion. The fundamental problems everywhere in biology are the same, the determination of the structure and the proper ties and. The laws controlling them of living matter. In what ever department knowledge be gained as to these fundamental questions, it is a contribution to all departments of biology. The expansion of our knowledge brings closer together all physical and natural sciences, physics with chemistry, and both with biology. It is of incalculable advantage that the surfaces of contact between the different branches of biological study should be kept clearly in view, and that knowledge gained by one should be made readily available for others. Hence it seems to me that the general plan of organization of these laboratories, providing as they do for Special develop ment in all proper directions of biological study, while retain ing the conception of biology as one science, is eminently wise.

Book Synopsis The Marriage of Near Kin by : Alfred Henry Huth

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Marriage of Near Kin: Considered With Respect to the Law of Nations, the Results of Experience, and the Teachings of Biology The first condition is easily secured, because it only requires a little mechanical arrangement; but how are we to know whether a given couple should be allowed to marry or not? Were either insane we should not allow it, because we know that the chances are the progeny would also be insane. If a parent of either had become insane after marriage then we should not prohibitit, because, though there would be a good chance that insanity was become hereditary in the family, yet there would also be a good chance that the children might escape any hereditary taint, and the risk of prohibition would therefore be too great, we could not, for the sake of possible good, drive to a positive evil. For the same reason, or possiblyfrom motives of humanity, we do not dissolve a sterile marriage as so many nations have done, and still do. The benefit in a great and fertile population would be very doubtful; the evil most assured. And yet we prohibit marriages be tween near kin. Is then the immorality caused by certain of these prohibitions nothing; and Is the gain so very great? The sole reason why we now prohibit these mar riages, is that our fathers did so, and their fathers did so before them. Yet our fathers permitted marriage between crétins, lepers, and between many other persons, in cases where we should now prohibit it.

Book Synopsis Heredity (Classic Reprint) by : James Anderson Scott Watson
Download or read book Heredity (Classic Reprint) written by James Anderson Scott Watson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity Amongst many other problems of heredity, Professor Pearson and his pupils have investigated the inheritance of stature in man. They proceeded by measuring, in a great many instances, the height of a father and one or more of his sons. The average height of all the men measured was about five feet eight inches. It was found that if one considered by itself the group of fathers measuring about six feet, the average height of their sons was about five feet ten. Further, if one took by itself the group of fathers measuring five feet six, the average height of their sons was about five feet seven. That is, tall or short fathers tended to have tall or short sons respectively, but the resemblance as regards stature was only partial. In other words, variations in stature were inherited, but only to a limited extent. Professor Johannsen of Copenhagen has carried out an investigation on similar lines with regard to the size of the seed in beans. Taking the seeds from a single plant, be separated the large from the small, and planted each lot separately. From the resulting plants, when ripe, he took the seeds and weighed them; he found no difference in the average size of the seed in the two lots. He repeated this experiment several times, and kept on selecting for several generations, but always with the same result. Variations in the size of seed, within a single race, were not inherited at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rad Dad written by Jeremy Adam Smith and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood combines the best pieces from the award-winning zine Rad Dad and from the blog Daddy Dialectic, two kindred publications that have tried to explore parenting as political territory. Both of these projects have pushed the conversation around fathering beyond the safe, apolitical focus most books and websites stick to; they have not been complacent but have worked hard to create a diverse, multi-faceted space in which to grapple with the complexity of fathering. Today more than ever, fatherhood demands constant improvisation, risk, and struggle. With grace and honesty and strength, Rad Dad’s writers tackle all the issues that other parenting guides are afraid to touch: the brutalities, beauties, and politics of the birth experience, the challenges of parenting on an equal basis with mothers, the tests faced by transgendered and gay fathers, the emotions of sperm donation, and parental confrontations with war, violence, racism, and incarceration. Rad Dad is for every father out in the real world trying to parent in ways that are loving, meaningful, authentic, and ultimately revolutionary.

Book excerpt: The paleontologist and professor of anatomy who co-discovered Tiktaalik, the “fish with hands,” tells a “compelling scientific adventure story that will change forever how you understand what it means to be human” (Oliver Sacks). By examining fossils and DNA, he shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our heads are organized like long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes look and function like those of worms and bacteria. Your Inner Fish makes us look at ourselves and our world in an illuminating new light. This is science writing at its finest—enlightening, accessible and told with irresistible enthusiasm.

Book excerpt: A poignant story of danger, love, and trust, Finger Prints is a cherished classic from New York Times bestselling author Barbara Delinsky Once upon a time she was Robyn Hart, a dogged journalist covering an arson case who saw too much and wasn't afraid to expose it. But that courage nearly cost Robyn her life. Now under the safety of the Witness Protection program, she has a new identity—Carly Quinn—with a new job in a new city. As she struggles to make the best of her new life in Boston, the terror of the past still lingers, and Carly lives in fear that her enemies will find her. Though she tries to wall herself off from the world, one determined man breaks through her defenses—successful attorney Ryan Cornell. Though Carly yearns to give him her heart, she doesn’t know if she can. While loving him offers a happiness she thought she'd lost forever, trusting him could cost her everything. Riveting, emotionally charged, and full of memorable characters, Finger Prints exemplifies the extraordinary storytelling that readers love from Delinsky.
Book Synopsis A New Biology of Religion by : Michael Steinberg
Download or read book A New Biology of Religion written by Michael Steinberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-07-06 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides a fresh look at the debate between science and religion that documents how the experiences produced by spiritual practice are surprisingly consistent with the findings of modern biology, despite the difficulty in reconciling scientific theories and religious dogma. This book is unique in its focus on bodily experience as an independent source of knowledge and insight, an important aspect of recent discoveries in neurology and psychology. By rethinking what it is to be human and what role self-consciousness plays, it finds striking points of intersection between science and religion and challenges readers to rediscover their spiritual connections to the physical world. Combining scientific rigor with the spiritual quest, A New Biology of Religion: Spiritual Practice and the Life of the Body reframes the science-religion debate. This profound work examines how all things are connected—both scientifically and spiritually—and shows how religious practices mirror the biological processes of life.
