Download or read book The Cotton Plant in Egypt Studies in Physiology and Genetics Classic Reprint written by W. Lawrence Balls and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cotton Plant in Egypt Studies in Physiology and Genetics This book has been written with the purpose of abstracting the results of a series of researches made upon cotton plants in Egypt, which investigations, though diverse, were connected by the desire to know all that could be learned about the plant itself. Portions of these inquiries have appeared in various journals, but most of the material here utilised has not yet been published. Where it may appear to the reader that a conclusion necessitates much fuller data than is placed before him, I can only ask his clemency until such time as a fuller monograph shall be written.

Download or read book Genetics written by Herbert Eugene Walter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genetics: An Introduction to the Study of Heredity 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 Island, before the biological summer school of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. 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 summary 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 non technical readers.

Download or read book Taboo and Genetics written by M. M. Knight and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taboo and Genetics: A Study of the Biological, Sociological and Psychological Foundation of the Family is the work of authors M.M Knight, Iva Lowther Peters, and Phyllis Blanchard. This book is a study of sex from the perspective of the three different scientific fields referred to in its title. The format of Taboo and Genetics is fairly straightforward. The book is divided into three parts, opening with the work of Dr. M.M. Knight, a biologist. Titled The New Biology and the Sex Problem in Society this portion of the book tackles sex from a mostly biological perspective, describing what acts are classified as sex, and exploring sex across the animal kingdom in order to draw comparisons to humans. Part two, The Institutionalized Sex Taboo, is the work of Dr. Iva Lowther Peters, and approaches the subject sociologically. Peters' section primarily discusses a woman's role in sex culture, including a history of how the sexuality of women has been interpreted throughout the ages. The book concludes with the work of Dr. Phyllis Blanchard, a psychologist. Blanchard explores modern sexuality from a psychological perspective, focusing on the sometimes unconscious sexual impulses of men and women. Taboo and Genetics is an interesting read and one that provides a variety of perspectives on sexuality. The authors take a controversial stance on some issues, including race and sexuality, but provide the reader with some historical perspective on how the issues discussed were interpreted by medical professionals at the time of writing. Attitudes towards sex have changed a great deal in recent times, and this book is certainly evidence of that. If you are a student or professional involved in sexual health, Taboo and Genetics is a worthwhile read. The book offers three different perspectives on sexuality, and provides the reader with a wealth of information on the history of the study of sex.

Download or read book Root Physiology from Gene to Function written by Hans Lambers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-02-03 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, enormous progress has been made on the physiology of plant roots, including on a wide range of molecular aspects. Much of that progress has been captured in the chapters of this book. Breakthroughs have been made possible through integration of molecular and whole-plant aspects. The classical boundaries between physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology have vanished. There has been a strong focus on a limited number of model species, including Arabidopsis thaliana. That focus has allowed greater insight into the significance of specific genes for plant development and functioning. However, many species are very different from A. thaliana, in that they are mycorrhizal, develop a symbiosis with N2-fixing microsymbionts, or have other specialised root structures. Also, some have a much greater capacity to resist extreme environments, such as soil acidity, salinity, flooding or heavy-metal toxicities, due to specific adaptations. Research on species other than A. thaliana is therefore pivotal, to develop new knowledge in plant sciences in a comprehensive manner. This fundamental new knowledge can be the basis for important applications in, e.g., agriculture and plant conservation. Although significant progress has been made, much remains to be learnt. It is envisaged that discoveries made in the recent past will likely lead to major breakthroughs in the next decade.
Download or read book Mendel s Principles of Heredity Classic Reprint written by William Bateson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mendel's Principles of Heredity Much and varied assistance has been given me by many persons. Such help on special points has been acknowledged in the text, but a fuller and more prominent acknowledgment is due to my colleagues. Without their cooperation there would have been, so far as Cambridge is concerned, but meagre contributions to record. In the early days of Mendelism, and before, Miss E. R. Saunderscollaborated with me. A beautiful series of results, especially relating to the heredity of Stocks has been the fruit Of her labours exclusively. Not only have these results greatly advanced our knowledge of genetic pheno mena, but I think that at a time when Mendelism was, in England at least, regarded with suspicion, the Obvious precision of her work and the persistence of her advocacy did much to convince the scientific world of the reality of our assertions. In 1904 I had the good fortune to gain Mr R. C. Punnett as a partner. Since that date we have worked in close collaboration, and the work that we have thus done has been in every sense a joint product, both as regards design, execution, and interpretation of results. Though for the presentation of the views contained in this book I am solely responsible, those that apply to the subjects of our own work are often his, or have been arrived at in consequence of interchange of ideas with him. On some points of general physiology I have received useful suggestions and criticism from Mr F. F. Blackman, and in this respect I am also especially beholden to Miss F. M. Durham.

Download or read book Genetic Psychology written by Edwin A. Kirkpatrick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genetic Psychology: An Introduction to an Objective and Genetic View of Intelligence The theory of evolution has completely revolutionized the biological sciences and is now making similar changes in psychology, the science dealing with the highest form of life, that of consciousness. All life phenomena, from those of plant growth to the most complex processes of consciousness, are in certain respects similar. Therefore, not until the facts and theories of all sciences concerned with life phenomena have been studied to determine their common and their differentiating characteristics, can we have a psychology that is a fitting apex of these sciences. In other words, all psychology must be founded on genetic principles and become genetic in character. It is with the purpose of helping to more clearly define and establish this point of view, which is being more and more taken by present-day students of life activities, that this book has been prepared. It is hoped that this tentative formulation of the truths supplied by various sciences may help to promote more harmony of effort on the part of workers in the several related fields.

Download or read book The Elements of Psychology Classic Reprint written by David R. Major and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Psychology This book is designed to serve as a text for stu dents who are pursuing a first course in psychology. It aims to present in an elementary way, and within a small compass, the more easily observed facts of our mental life together with the generally accepted principles of their explanation. Its field is chiefly the study of the normal, adult, human mind, and so may be described as an introduction to what is known as General Psychology. In these days, 'the winter of our discontent, ' the writer of a first book in psychology may follow one of three courses: he may appear as 'the champion of the structural psychology' or as the advocate of a psychology in terms of behavior or he may proceed after the manner of the eclectic, without special re gard to the systematic agreement of the topics and matter selected. In the preparation of the present text, the writer followed the third course, and a word of explanation seems in place. It is clear that many of the topics that belong to an introductory survey of psychology lend them selves easily and naturally to the functional method of treatment, while certain other topics, no less im portant in a first book, invite rather a structural treatment. It is clear, moreover, that the student may get important side lights from the biological, physiological, genetic and other points of view.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Rabbinic Counseling written by Rabbi Yisrael N. Levitz, PhD and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides the requisite knowledge and practical guidelines for some of the most common counseling situations. Today's rabbis, in addition to being spiritual leaders of their congregations, are also expected to be competent counselors to members of their community. Yet rabbis often feel inadequately prepared for the difficult challenges of their counseling role. To many, rabbinic counseling appears deceptively simple, requiring no more than good intuition, fair judgment and sincere empathy. Good counseling, in reality, is a complex process requiring a combination of knowledge, skill, self-awareness and an understanding of human dynamics. This groundbreaking book—written specifically for community rabbis and religious counselors—reflects the wisdom of seasoned professionals, who provide clear guidelines and sensible strategies for effective rabbinic counseling.
Download or read book Classical Genetic Research and Its Legacy written by Jean-Paul Gaudillière and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10-07 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rise of genomics, the life sciences have entered a new era. This book provides a comprehensive history of mapping procedures as they were developed in classical genetics. An accompanying volume - From Molecular Genetics to Genomics - covers the history of molecular genetics and genomics. The book shows that the technology of genetic mapping is by no means a recent acquisition of molecular genetics or even genetic engineering. It demonstrates that the development of mapping technologies has accompanied the rise of modern genetics from its very beginnings. In Section One, Mendelian genetics is set in perspective from the viewpoint of the detection and description of linkage phenomena. Section Two addresses the role of mapping for the experimental working practice of classical geneticists, their social interactions and for the laboratory 'life worlds'. With detailed analyses of the scientific practices of mapping and its illustration of the diversity of mapping practices this book is a significant contibution to the history of genetics. A companion volume from the same editors - From Molecular Genetics to Genomics: The Mapping Cultures of Twentieth Century Genetics - covers the history of molecular genetics and genomics.
