A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Several years ago it was our good fortune to follow, as graduate students, a course of lectures and practical study in General Biology under the direction of Professor Martin, at Jolins Hopkins University. So interesting and suggestive was the general method employed in this course which, in its main outlines, had been marked out by Huxley and Martin ten years before, that we were persuaded that beginners in biology should always be introduced to the subject in some similar way. The present work thus owes its origin to the influence of the autliors of theE lementary Biology, our deep indebtedness to whom we gratefully acknowledge. It is still an open question whether tlie beginner should pursue the logical but difficult course of working upwards from tlie simple to the complex, or adopt the easier and more practical method of working downwards from famihar higlier forms. Every teacher of the subject knows how great are the practical difficulties besetting the novice, who, provided for tlie lirst time with a compound microscope, is confronted withY east, Protococcus, or A moeba; and on the other hand, how hard it is to sift out what is general and essential from the heterogeneous details of a mammal or a flowering plant. In the hope of lessening the practical difficulties of the logical method we venture to submit a course of preliminary study, which we have used for some time with our own classes, and have found practical and effective. It has not been our ambition to prepare an exhaustive treatise.
