Excerpt from The Physical Basis of Heredity The rapid increase of specialization makes it impossible for one author to cover satisfactorily the whole field of modern Biology. This situation, which exists in all the sciences, has induced English authors to issue series of monographs in Biochemistry, Physiology and Physics. A number of American biologists have decided to provide the same opportunity for the study of Experimental Biology. Biology, which not long ago was purely descriptive and speculative, has begun to adopt the methods of the exact sciences recognizing that for permanent progress not only experiments are required but quantitative experiments. It will be the purpose of this series of monographs to emphasize and further as much as possible this development of Biology. Experimental Biology and General Physiology are one and the same science, in method as well as content, since both aim at explaining life from the physico-chemical constitution of living matter. The series of monographs on Experimental Biology will therefore include the field of traditional General Physiology.

Excerpt from The Physical Basis of Life It is not surprising that such pronouncements should have had a hostile reception fifty years ago. Even in this twentieth century some of our non - scientific friends somehow manage to find a source of heat and fury in so evident a fact as organic evolution. On the whole, how ever, sane and well-informed persons do not now seem to find either their morals or their happiness seriously affected by elementary and fundamental facts concerning living things. Today Huxley 's heresy of sixty years ago has become an orthodox platitude; but the problems of protoplasm still hold us fast with a gripping interest that has lost nothing of its force With the flight of time. In what light do Huxley 's conclusions appear after the bio logical progress of half a century? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Physical Basis of Society In undertaking such a study a writer has his choice of two methods. He may undertake to tell the story in his own words or may allow the authorities to speak for them selves. The first method makes the reading somewhat easier. Inasmuch as no one can claim to have first hand information on so many subjects the reader is likely to wonder if the facts are as represented. I have preferred the second method, therefore, and have quoted freely from the best works known to me. Whenever possible I have drawn freely from the books of special value. Thus some pages of Chapter IV have been taken almost verbatim from the monumental work of A. D. White, The Warfare of Science with Theology.

Excerpt from Mendel's Principles of Heredity Much and varied assistance has been given me by many persons. Such help on special points has been acknowledged in the text, but a fuller and more prominent acknowledgment is due to my colleagues. Without their cooperation there would have been, so far as Cambridge is concerned, but meagre contributions to record. In the early days of Mendelism, and before, Miss E. R. Saunderscollaborated with me. A beautiful series of results, especially relating to the heredity of Stocks has been the fruit Of her labours exclusively. Not only have these results greatly advanced our knowledge of genetic pheno mena, but I think that at a time when Mendelism was, in England at least, regarded with suspicion, the Obvious precision of her work and the persistence of her advocacy did much to convince the scientific world of the reality of our assertions. In 1904 I had the good fortune to gain Mr R. C. Punnett as a partner. Since that date we have worked in close collaboration, and the work that we have thus done has been in every sense a joint product, both as regards design, execution, and interpretation of results. Though for the presentation of the views contained in this book I am solely responsible, those that apply to the subjects of our own work are often his, or have been arrived at in consequence of interchange of ideas with him. On some points of general physiology I have received useful suggestions and criticism from Mr F. F. Blackman, and in this respect I am also especially beholden to Miss F. M. Durham.

Excerpt from Eugenio Rignano Upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters: A Hypothesis of Heredity, Development, and Assimilation Rignano is a student of Biology who has also the training of an engineer and physicist. His attack on bio logical problems is from that side. In this book he offers an explanation on a physical basis of assimilation, cell di vision, and the biogenetic law of recapitulation in ontog eny, and he suggests a mechanism whereby the inheritance of acquired characters may be effected.

Excerpt from The Physical Basis of Society For many years the writer has been in the habit of beginning his University courses in Sociology by briefly sketching the physical background of life, the relation of the organism to its environment, the question of heredity, and the general idea of evolution as applied to human beings and the development of social theory. Because of the interest shown by his classes he has come to believe that there is perhaps a larger group which would welcome the opportunity to survey this field but which will not spend the time to gather the evidence which now exists in widely scattered volumes. The real plagiarist is not the one who accidentally or willfully forgets to put quotation marks about given groupings of words, but he who gives the impression that the ideas conveyed are the result of his own thought-processes. I make no pretense to originality. I cannot remember the sources of many of my ideas, though I have tried to give due credit. It will probably be found that whatever is original is not good and whatever is good is not original. In reality I have sought to make accessible the best of modern thought on the questions involved even though this requires in some cases the presentation of conflicting views. I have tried also to indicate the limits of present knowledge and to point out the problems requiring further investigation before we can be very positive of our positions. I cannot even congratulate myself that I am acquainted with all the work that has been done and I have doubtless omitted much that should be included.

Reductionism as a scientific methodology has been extraordinarily successful in biology. However, recent developments in molecular biology have shown that reductionism is seriously inadequate in dealing with the mind-boggling complexity of integrated biological systems. This title presents an appropriate balance between science and philosophy and covers traditional philosophical treatments of reductionism as well as the benefits and shortcomings of reductionism in particular areas of science. Discussing the issue of reductionism in the practice of medicine it takes into account the holistic and integrative aspects that require the context of the patient in his biological and psychological entirety. The emerging picture is that what first seems like hopeless disagreements turn out to be differences in emphasis. Although genes play an important role in biology, the focus on genetics and genomics has often been misleading. The consensus view leads to pluralism: both reductionst methods and a more integrative approach to biological complexity are required, depending on the questions that are asked. * An even balance of contributions from scientists and philosophers of science - representing a unique interchange between both communities interested in reductionism

Despite the transformation in biological practice and theory brought about by discoveries in molecular biology, until recently philosophy of biology continued to focus on evolutionary biology. When the Human Genome Project got underway in the late 1980s and early 1990s, philosophers of biology—unlike historians and social scientists—had little to add to the debate. In this landmark collection of essays, Sahotra Sarkar broadens the scope of current discussions of the philosophy of biology, viewing molecular biology as a unifying perspective on life that complements that of evolutionary biology. His focus is on molecular biology, but the overriding question behind these papers is what molecular biology contributes to all traditional areas of biological research.Molecular biology—described with some foresight in a 1938 Rockefeller Foundation report as a branch of science in which "delicate modern techniques are being used to investigate ever more minute details"—and its modeling strategies apparently argue in favor of physical reductionism. Sarkar's first three chapters explore reductionism—defending it, but cautioning that reduction to molecular interactions is not necessarily a reduction to genetics (and does not support the claims of either heriditarianism or environmentalism). The next sections of the book discuss function, exploring how functional explanations pose a problem for reductionism; the informational interpretation of biology and how it interacts with reductionism; and the tension between the unifying framework of molecular biology and the received framework of evolutionary theory. The concluding chapter is an essay in the emerging field of developmental evolution, exploring what molecular biology may contribute to the transformation of evolutionary theory as evolutionary theory takes into account morphogenetic development.
