Michel Morange brings to life the dynamic interplay of science, society, and biology’s many subdisciplines, enabling readers to better appreciate the interdisciplinary exchanges that have shaped the field over the centuries.Each chapter of this incisive book focuses on a specific period in the history of biology, describing the major transformations that occurred, the enduring scientific concerns behind these changes, and the implications of yesterday's science for today's. Morange covers everything from the first cell theory to the origins of the concept of ecosystems, and offers perspectives on areas that are often neglected by historians of biology, such as ecology, ethology, and plant biology. Along the way, he highlights the contributions of technology, the important role of hypothesis and experimentation, and the cultural contexts in which some of the most breathtaking discoveries in biology were made.Unrivaled in scope and written by a world-renowned historian of science, A History of Biology is an ideal introduction for students and experts alike, and essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the present state of biological knowledge.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmAuthor: Michel Morange, Michel Morange, Teresa Lavender Fagan - Translated by, Joseph Muise - Translated by, Teresa Lavender Fagan - Translated by, Joseph Muise - Translated by, Julian Elfer, Tantor AudioTranslator: Teresa Lavender Fagan, Joseph MuiseContributor: Teresa Lavender Fagan (Translated by), Joseph Muise (Translated by)Genre: Science Nature & MathNarrator: Julian ElferType: BiologyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
