Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology and Human Life It takes account further of another tendency in our current life, namely, the rapid extension of secondary-school opportuni ties to new population groups. The high schools now receive increasing numbers of boys and girls whose interests and aspira tions are radically different from those of earlier generations of pupils. The high school is no longer primarily or chiefly a college-preparatory institution. More and more of our students are concerned with the concrete and the practical rather than with the abstract and theoretical. Boys and girls who look for ward to an early entrance upon occupational activities and the responsibilities of earning and spending money have as much need for the study of biology as have those who plan to go to college or the professional schools. Even among these last there are very many for whom the subject can be most interestingly and most profitably developed in terms of our everyday affairs rather than in terms of academic analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Nature of Life Whether the human mind be dealing with the problems of some branch of natural science, or constructing systems of ethics, philosophy, or religion, it is equally essential to clothe its thoughts in language derived from those things in the material world which appeal to the human senses. The extent and accuracy of our knowledge of external phenomena increase all the time, and it is this increase of knowledge which makes all science progressive. True religion apart from dogma is the sublimed essence of the knowledge of the highest things in the world, and in itself is never opposed to natural science; but when there is error in men's conceptions of religion or of natural science, then there may for a time appear to be a conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biological Aspects of Human Problems This volume is based on notes begun during a trip to Egypt in 1906, when it occurred to me that a discussion of certain human problems from the biological standpoint might prove helpful to my children. It had long seemed to me that the serious student of biological processes might in time reach views respecting the mystery of life, which should throw some light on the attitude of people toward nature and especially toward other human beings. Having reached a time of life when I began to feel confidence that the laws of biology might often prove reliable guides to the understanding of puzzling situations in life, I experienced a desire to state my views to my children in a manner more definite than is possible in conversation. I am now led to publish my interpretation of biological laws in their bearing on human life in the hope that they may prove of some service to persons who have faith that an under standing of such laws is frequently a help to more intelligent and humane conduct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life and Human Progress It may at least be claimed for the lectures that they represent the latest views upon matters with which they deal. If these views appear in some cases to be subversive of modern biological doctrine it must be remembered that biological thought is progressive; were it otherwise the claims of bio logical science to a foremost place in our educational system might well be considered questionable. The doctrine of Organic Evolution, for example, looms large in several of the lectures, and a certain advance is to be observed from the position held by Charles Darwin and his immediate followers. The foundations of this doctrine, however, remain unshaken, and it is only the superstructure which has been, perhaps too hastily, erected upon them that is being more or less recon structed in accordance with recent investigations. The unexpectedly large audiences which were attracted to the lectures, and the great interest evinced in them at the time of delivery, seem to justify the hope that in their present form they may appeal to an even larger circle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Science of Human Life Thus, of those foims of mattei which in chemistry are at present considered elements, different aggregations of the same molecules make substances not only of entiiely ditierent natures, but of propemes as different as those of aquafortis and the ba! My air which we breathe; of sugar and vinegar; otcha1coal and diamond. And thus again, by differently arranging the same molecules of matter, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and other colors and tints are produced; and in like manner, are formed the most flagrant and most offensive odor; and the different qualities of sweet and sour and bitter, etc. And there are reasons for believing that light and heat, and electricity and magnetism, instead of being essentially different substances, are but the results of particular aggregations or arrangements and conditions of the same primary atoms of matter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Biology, or the True Science of Life It does not matter if this foliage reappears with certain changes of form and color. Truth may be all the more acceptable for its varying manifesta tions, and may thereby attract more attention from those who have become almost unconscious of its existence. If we give an old truth a new dress, we do so, only as a courteous plucking of the robes of the passer-by. We would not mislead, but would only awaken the mind to a consciousness of ever-pres ent truth, which from its very familiarity has ceased to make any impression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonder of Life HE aim of this book is to illustrate the ever-growing wonder of animated Nature - with especial reference to animal life. It is an unconventional introduction to Natural History and Biology, taking broad views of the actual lives of living creatures and working inwards. It is therefore complementary to other books which begin with the minute analysis of the individual. The author hopes that it may be found useful in nature-study as a continuation of his Biology of the Seasons, and that teachers of Zoology may recommend it to their students as an introduction to the study of some of the problems for the discussion of which our crowded curricula leave little time.

Download or read book Biology and Man Classic Reprint written by Benjamin Charles Gruenberg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology and Man Our secondary schools today are common schools in the sense that ele mentary schools were common fifty years ago. That is, they enroll somewhat over two thirds of the boys and girls of the age they are designed to serve. In the past our high schools were responsible for special services to boys and girls who were in line for careers in the professions or for leadership in their communities. Today our high schools must furnish guidance, instruction and training of value to everybody. We have tried in this book to introduce a unified science of living things, which we regard as a valuable part of our common heritage. Like the traditional three R's of our common schools, this introduction opens the way for all, expecting that each will continue as far as he wishes or needs to along particular lines. Some will wish to go further with botany or entomology, for example, or with gardening or breeding, whether as a hobby or as a profession. Some will wish to become nurses or technicians, physicians or administrators, and so will follow their biology in different directions. And some will find that this book will serve as a solid and ample foundation for college work. These young men and women honestly want to understand the essential facts of personal and social life and the practical implications of these facts for themselves. These students are already on the verge of being the adult workers and voters and policy-makers of their time. They will have to decide scores of issues involving human beings as organisms - organisms that want food and shelter, that want to be well and to prolong their lives, that have to live together without destroying one another. These young men and women want to know more about the human species than they can possibly get out of the specialized subjects that ignore the organic nature of man, and more than they can possibly get out of a biology that ignores the distinctively human characteristics of this particular species - its intellect, its imagination, its inventiveness, its emotions and sentiments, and the very sociality that makes it possible for us to have any science at all.

Download or read book The Origins of Life written by D. W. Deamer and published by Cold Spring Harbor Perspective. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life arose on Earth more than three billion years ago. How the first self-replicating systems emerged from prebiotic chemistry and evolved into primitive cell-like entities is an area of intense research, spanning molecular and cellular biology, organic chemistry, cosmology, geology, and atmospheric science. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology provides a comprehensive account of the environment of the early Earth and the mechanisms by which the organic molecules present may have self-assembled to form replicating material such as RNA and other polymers. The contributors examine the energetic requirements for this process and focus in particular on the essential role of semi-permeable compartments in containment of primitive genetic systems. Also covered in the book are new synthetic approaches for fabricating cellular systems, the potentially extraterrestrial origin of life's building blocks, and the possibility that life once existed on Mars. Comprising five sections Setting the Stage, Components of First Life, Primitive Systems, First Polymers, and Transition to a Microbial World it is a vital reference for all scientists interested in the origin of life on Earth and the likelihood that it has arisen on other planets

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Human Nature What, it may be asked, are the qualifications of the writer of this book for entering upon so difficult a subject? I have travelled much, and have enjoyed favourable opportunities of observ ing the behaviour and comparing the ideas of different races of mankind. And, during many years of my life, I have been occupied in the task of governing men - of inducing large numbers of both Europeans and Asiatics to carry out the desires of the State; and it is probable that in this business one gets a closer insight into the complicated working of human nature than by any other course of experience or study. So much for what is empirical in these discussions. For my psychology and evolutionary biology I am, of course, immensely indebted to the many able and eminent men who have written on these subjects, and especially to Professors William James, E. D. Cope, E. B. Tylor, W. Mcdougall, C. Lloyd-morgan, F. W. Gamble, W. A. Bateson, R. C. Punnett, William Ridgeway, Karl Pearson, Sir Francis Galton, Houston Stewart Chamberlain, and MM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biology in Human Affairs The subject matter falls naturally into three parts. The first part is general in character. It contains reflections upon the philosophy of biology and upon the validity Of its conclusions. Here the authors have also tried to show how the field Of biology is ever broadening through the inclusion of problems which were formerly thought to be beyond the reach Of scientific procedure. The second part is concerned with the mind. It contains a skeletonized account of the general development of psychology, and essays on the application Of psychological methods to education and to industry. The third part treats of the body. It is designed to Show, in some measure, the progress in dealing with man as an animal. It portrays some of the advances in genetics, in medicine, in the work Of the public health Officer, in physiology, in biochemistry, and in general zoology put to the service. In addition, there is an extended discussion Of the means by which man increases his food supply and thus makes it possible to feed some twenty million additional people with the advent Of each new season.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prolongation of Life: Optimistic Studies Elie metchnikoff has done a remarkable amount of scientific investigation, the excellence of Which is equally remarkable. Like Pasteur, he began in one field of re search and, by the natural development of his studies, was led forward into a new field which at first seemed very remote from that which he formerly occupied. 'his earlier work dealt with problems of comparative embry ology; his later, with problems of disease. In accordance with these facts, his career divides itself into two parts, and, as if to emphasise this fact, we find that the earlier part was intimately associated with German in uences and largely under their control, while the second part shows strong French in uence and covers a time spent almost wholly in Paris.
