Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution and the Origin of Life "To experience we refer, as the only ground of all physical inquiry. But before experience itself can be used with advantage, there is one preliminary step to make, which depends wholly on ourselves: it is the absolute dismissal and clearing of the mind of all prejudice from whatever source arising, and the determination to stand or fall by the result of a direct appeal to facts in the first instance, and of strict logical deduction from them afterwards." Sir John Herschel: Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy. "The fair question is, Does the newly proposed view remove more difficulties, require fewer assumptions, and present more consistency with observed facts than that which it seeks to supersede? if so the philosopher will adopt it, and the world will follow the philosopher - after many days." Mr. Justice Grove: Inaugural Address as President of the British Association, 1866. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Life: Its Origin, History and Future The University of Chicago in December, 1955, began planning its celebration of the centenary in the most appropriate manner - bringing to bear on the subject of evolution current knowledge from a variety of relevant fields, thus advancing once more our understanding of the world and man. About fifty scientists were selected during 1956, and their themes were agreed upon; during 1957 and 1958 they developed the papers that are published here. As these were completed, they were exchanged among the authors. Armed with new information and insights, all but five of the authors met at the University on November 22, 1959, to prepare for panel discussions of the issues in evolution; these were held for the public during a five-day Celebration, beginning on the Centennial of the publication date of Origin of Species. The discus sions were based on the papers that had been prepared and distributed in advance, but were not delivered at the Celebration. The present volume, The Evolution of Life, and its companion volume, The Evolution of Man, represent most of the collected Uni versity of Chicago Centennial papers. A small group on the relation ship between science and spiritual values appears in a third volume, Issues in Evolution, which also contains the panel discussions and an index to all three volumes. Collectively, this work 15 called Evolution after Darwin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plant Life and Evolution The evidence as to the possibility of spontaneous generation at the present time is entirely negative. All of the alleged successful experiments in this direction have been shown to be the result of er rors, and as yet no successful attempts have been made to produce living matter by artificial means. So far as we know at the present time, all living things arise from preexisting ones by some form of reproduction. It is, however, the general belief of biologists, that at some remote period living mat ter arose from inorganic elements. The theory that living germs were brought to the earth from somewhere in space is not generally accepted; and the criticism has been made of this view that, after all, it does not explain the origin of life, but merely the advent of life upon the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Life Of Life in 1872 gave rise to a good deal Of criticism, and was followed by much controversy for a few years. The criticism concerned both sections Of the work - that dealing with Heterogenesis, as well as the portion in which I endeavoured to establish the reality Of Archebiosis, though there was controversy only in regard to the latter subject. The absence Of controversy about Heterogenesis was due to the fact that I made no reply whatever to any Of the criticisms concerning this section Of my book. It was a kind Of subject which did not seem open to profitable discussion, especially with persons who declined to attempt to repeat the observations in question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life arose on Earth more than three billion years ago. How the first self-replicating systems emerged from prebiotic chemistry and evolved into primitive cell-like entities is an area of intense research, spanning molecular and cellular biology, organic chemistry, cosmology, geology, and atmospheric science. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology provides a comprehensive account of the environment of the early Earth and the mechanisms by which the organic molecules present may have self-assembled to form replicating material such as RNA and other polymers. The contributors examine the energetic requirements for this process and focus in particular on the essential role of semi-permeable compartments in containment of primitive genetic systems. Also covered in the book are new synthetic approaches for fabricating cellular systems, the potentially extraterrestrial origin of life's building blocks, and the possibility that life once existed on Mars. Comprising five sections Setting the Stage, Components of First Life, Primitive Systems, First Polymers, and Transition to a Microbial World it is a vital reference for all scientists interested in the origin of life on Earth and the likelihood that it has arisen on other planets

Download or read book Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection written by Charles Darwin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Origin of Species by the world renowned scientist Charles Darwin is a scientific must read. His theories on evolution are the basis of evolutionary biology as we know it today. Although this may seem a daunting read, rest assured that Darwin's simple explanations and descriptions make this book easily enjoyable. He concisely clarifies each of his arguments in layman's terms, something almost unheard of in Victorian scientific reports, and gently introduces the reader to his way of thinking. Darwin understood that his theories were going to be met with much resistance as they went completely against the theories of the time, and it was for this reason the he made certain that every point made is explained and understandable so as to make his argument as convincing as possible. In total there are six editions of On the Origins of Species, this being the first and shortest of them. Although some say this therefore lacks the revisions and edits of the later editions, it also makes for a more concise read as the later editions are bulked out mainly by the addition of answers to posed questions. Everything within this book stands true to what Darwin believed. A great read that will take you one a journey through the mind of a scientific giant.

But although the form is thus to some extent new, I have followed in the main the same train of thought as in the lectures of recent years. The lecture form has been adhered to in the book, not merely because of the greater vividness of presentation which it implies, but for many other reasons, of which the greater freedom in the choice of material and the limiting of quotation to a minimum are not the least. That all polemics of a personal kind have thus been excluded will not injure the book, but it is by no means lacking in discussions of opinion, and will, therefore, I trust, contribute something towards the clearing up of disputed points.
