A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The biological Rip van Winkle of today who, awaking after a decade of somnolence, gazes again upon the genetic village ofF alling Waters, will indeed need to rub his astonished eyes at the changed scene that now spreads out before him. Many old familiar landmarks, such as unit characters and dominance, show signs of dilapidation, while strange children, shouting a medley of outlandish words, linkage, tetraploidy, and non-disjunction, for example, are playing new games on the village green. Although the remarkable advances in this field of science are well treated in considerable detail by several recent text-books, notably those of Castle, Morgan, Conklin, and Babcock and Clausen, perhaps there still remains the original need for a more elementary presentation of the salient points of genetics, not only for the interested but confused layman, but also for the initiation of the prospective student who is attracted to the study of heredity. To perform this service is the ambitious object of the present revision. Three new chapters, XI, XII and XIII, have been added and the whole book has been thoroughly worked over and rearranged. Chapter XIII upon Sex Determination has practically been written by Professor S. I.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following pages had their origin in a course of lectures upon Heredity, given at Brown University during the winter of 1911-1912, which were amplified and repeated in part the following summer at Cold Spring Harbor, Long I sland, before the biological summer school of theB rooklyn Institute of Arts andS ciences. An attempt has been made to summarize for the intelligent, but uninitiated, reader some of the more recent phases of the questions of heredity which are at present agitating the biological world. It is hoped that this sunmiary will not only be of interest to the general reader, but that it will also be of service in college courses dealing with evolution and heredity. The subject of heredity concerns every one, but many of those who wish to become better informed regarding it are either too busily engaged or lack the opportunity to study the matter out for themselves. The recent literature in this field is already very large, with every indication that much more is about to follow, which is a further discouragement to nontechnical readers.
