The American Development of Biology

The papers in this volume represent original work to celebrate the centenary of the American Society of Zoologists. They illustrate the impressive nature of historical scholarship that has subsequently focused on the development of biology in the United States.


Marc Notes: Based on papers presented at a conference held at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories, Sept. 1986, commissioned by the American Society of Zoologists to celebrate its centenary. First published in cloth in the United States of America by the University of Pennsylvania Press, 1988--T.p. verso. Publisher Marketing: Selected as one of the Best Sci-Tech Books of 1988 by Library Journal. Intelligently organized and presented . . . the essays bespeak the expansion in recent years of the study of the history of biology . . . beyond the pure history of ideas to include social, economic, and institutional context and its shaping influence on scientific research programs. --Daniel J. Kevles, Science Fills in the gap and sets the record straight concerning the diversity, the complexity, and the general richness of biological theory and practice in the late nineteenth and early twentieth cneturies. --Bulletin of the History of Medicine History of science at its modern best. --W.
