Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Biology for Students in General, Medical and Technical Courses IN this edition the general plan of the previous editions is retained but made more logical by bringing forward the chapters on plants so that the value to be derived from the evolutionary point of view can be employed in the study of the plant types discussed. The chapter on hydra is shifted for a similar reason. The section dealing with the biology of cells (chapters VIII - XI) has been entirely rearranged and extended in order that it may furnish a better foundation for the present-day conception of biology. The laboratory suggestions at the beginning of each chapter are omitted and attention is called to Laboratory Outlines by Hargitt and Hargitt which meets the needs of those wishing laboratory directions for the present edition. This book may be secured by writing directly to Professor C. W. Hargitt, Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y. The historical development of biology, typified in large part by the emphasis which certain great men placed first upon one aspect of living things and then upon another, affords a natural approach to our subject: Linnaeus (1707 - 17 78) emphasized the external form of organisms, while Haller (1708 - 1777) inquired into the general physiological activities of living things. These two men may be given credit for defining the two lines of study, morphology and physiology, which enter so largely into all modern courses in biology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology General and Medical The question astonished me, but the manner in which it was asked clearly intimated that it was a method of expressing his conviction that no one would do so. My friend is a. Distinguished educator, occupies an im portant chair in one of the most prominent American institutions, and should have known; but apparently did not. Time has shown him to have been mistaken. Stu dents were anxious for a writing that would connect the Botany and Zoology they had learned in college with the Anatomy and Physiology they were learning in the Med ical College, and those subjects with the world of living things in which they moved. I still am unable to answer the original question, who will read it? All that I can say, as the result of three editions completely exhausted, is that thousands are reading it, and for me that is enough to justify the long period spent in its preparation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Biology: A Book of Outlines and Practical Studies for the General Student This book offers a series of practical studies Of biological phenomena for the guidance of the general student. It is not a formal text, and not at all a treatise, but only a guide intended to assist the student in acquiring for himself some real knowledge Of living nature. It differs chiefly from other books intended for the use of college classes in the wider range of studies it offers, some important phases of biology having hitherto been dismissed with mere didactic instruction. Morphology has dominated - Often monopo lized - college work in biology in the past; doubtless, be cause it was first reduced to pedagogic form, and made available for laboratory instruction. A more equable treatment is here attempted, in the hope of leading the student to a practical acquaintance with elementary phenomena in the whole broad field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Biology, Vol. 1 Several years ago it was our good fortune to follow as grad uate students a course of lectures and practical study in General Biology, under the direction of Professor Martin, at Johns Hop kins University. Since that time we have ever been strongly of the opinion that beginners in Biology should be introduced to the subject by some similar method, following in the main the outlines marked out by Huxley and Martin more than ten years ago. The present work thus owes its origin to the influence of the authors of the Elementary Biology, our deep indebtedness to whom we gratefully acknowledge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology: The Story of Living Things Here are a few chips left over from the authors' workshop. First of all we do not pretend to have presented herein the last word in a field already overcrowded by worthy rivals. The last word has an undesirable mortuary connotation quite out of keeping in a book about living things. The authors have been teaching biology for a total of ninety-four academic years, in addition to over sixty seasons of strenuous service in summer field work with classes at marine and fresh-water labora tories, and they can truthfully and enthusiastically say that they have enjoyed this experience. If what they would pass on to other students of biology appears from the table of contents to bear the familiar marks of old stuff, the reason is that it represents, in their minds at least, what remains after many years of trial and elimination at the hands of an army of different teachers and scholars. The fact that much material that has been worked over before it was retained does not necessarily prevent, it is hoped, some degree of freshness in its presentation. Any text book, the authors hold, should be somewhat like a dish of uncracked nuts, accompanied by a good substantial nutcracker. It is desirable that the reader should have some of the fun of wielding the nutcracker, for no pedagogical cellophane can preserve nuts already shelled in an entirely fresh and satisfactory condition for a very long time. An inevitable handicap that the textbook method of presentation of any subject is bound to suffer, is the fact that between the covers of a book the whole banquet is set upon the table at once in a more or less complete array. It is the part of the instructor to break up the feast into courses and to serve them in digestible portions. Perhaps the method of suspense employed in magazine serials would furnish a better way of arriving at the desired end than presenting the matter all at once in book form, since sufficient time should always be pro vided between the planting and harvesting of intellectual ideas to allow for unforced sprouting and growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology and Medicine But while conceding to the fullest extent the practical bene fits which attend the separate cultivation of different depart mentsof biology, I would even more strongly emphasize the essential unity of the biological sciences. In essence these sciences constitute but one science, and the great service of the word biology in its present use is to embody this concep tion. The fundamental problems everywhere in biology are the same, the determination of the structure and the proper ties and. The laws controlling them of living matter. In what ever department knowledge be gained as to these fundamental questions, it is a contribution to all departments of biology. The expansion of our knowledge brings closer together all physical and natural sciences, physics with chemistry, and both with biology. It is of incalculable advantage that the surfaces of contact between the different branches of biological study should be kept clearly in view, and that knowledge gained by one should be made readily available for others. Hence it seems to me that the general plan of organization of these laboratories, providing as they do for Special develop ment in all proper directions of biological study, while retain ing the conception of biology as one science, is eminently wise.

Download or read book Concepts of Biology written by Samantha Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of Biology is designed for the single-semester introduction to biology course for non-science majors, which for many students is their only college-level science course. As such, this course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives. Rather than being mired down with facts and vocabulary, the typical non-science major student needs information presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Even more importantly, the content should be meaningful. Students do much better when they understand why biology is relevant to their everyday lives. For these reasons, Concepts of Biology is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand.We also strive to show the interconnectedness of topics within this extremely broad discipline. In order to meet the needs of today's instructors and students, we maintain the overall organization and coverage found in most syllabi for this course. A strength of Concepts of Biology is that instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Concepts of Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand--and apply--key concepts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to General Biology The third change is the omission of the laboratory directions, these having been found unsuitable. The needs of different teachers differ so widely that it is impossible to draw up a scheme that shall answer for all. In place of the laboratory directions for students we have therefore given, in an appendix, a series of prae tical suggestions to teachers, leaving it to them to work out de tailed directions, if desired, by the help of the standard labora tory manuals. These suggestions are the result of a good deal of experience on the part of many teachers besides ourselves, and we hope they will be found useful in procuring and preparing material (often a matter of considerable difficulty), and in decid ing just what the student may reasonably be expected to do.
