Book Description
Excerpt from The Mendel Journal: October 1909 Mendelism is a subject which has come to stay and to play an important part in human affairs. In Agriculture, in Horticulture, in the Prize Pens, and in Sociology, its voice will be heard. It will not be as a voice in the desert, but as a world-vibratory one, uttering its pronouncements, admonitions, and definitive conclusions, based on the solid and unshakeable ground of accurate experiment, wherever culture and life come into contact. A subject like Mendelism, full of complexities, and liable to be misunderstood by the careless, the hasty, and the unwary, necessarily runs many dangers among the shoals of human affairs. There are the dilettante philanthropists and scientists, and social reformers; and there are newspaper writers possibly seeking to ingratiate themselves with their numerous readers, by assuming the garb of gods who destroy false idols, which they themselves first set up. Not Mendelism, nor its progress, but the application of it to human affairs, is endangered by them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In 1865, Gregor Mendel presented "Experiments in Plant-Hybridization," the results of his eight-year study of the principles of inheritance through experimentation with pea plants. Overlooked in its day, Mendel's work would later become the foundation of modern genetics. Did his pioneering research follow the rigors of real scientific inquiry, or was Mendel's data too good to be true—the product of doctored statistics? In Ending the Mendel-Fisher Controversy, leading experts present their conclusions on the legendary controversy surrounding the challenge to Mendel's findings by British statistician and biologist R. A. Fisher. In his 1936 paper "Has Mendel's Work Been Rediscovered?" Fisher suggested that Mendel's data could have been falsified in order to support his expectations. Fisher attributed the falsification to an unknown assistant of Mendel's. At the time, Fisher's criticism did not receive wide attention. Yet beginning in 1964, about the time of the centenary of Mendel's paper, scholars began to publicly discuss whether Fisher had successfully proven that Mendel's data was falsified. Since that time, numerous articles, letters, and comments have been published on the controversy.This self-contained volume includes everything the reader will need to know about the subject: an overview of the controversy; the original papers of Mendel and Fisher; four of the most important papers on the debate; and new updates, by the authors, of the latter four papers. Taken together, the authors contend, these voices argue for an end to the controversy-making this book the definitive last word on the subject.

Book Description
Gregor Johann Mendel continues to fascinate the general public as well as scholars, the former for his life and the latter for his achievements. Solitude of a Humble Genius is a two-volume biography presenting Mendel in the context of the history of biology and philosophy, and in the context of the setting in which he lived and worked. In this first volume the authors set the stage for a new interpretation of Mendel’s achievements and personality. The period of Mendel’s life covered by this volume is critical to understanding why he saw what other biologists, including Charles Darwin, for example, didn’t. In searching for clues to Mendel’s thinking, the authors discuss at length the origin of his genes; the history of the region of his birth; they also spend a day and then the four seasons of the year with his family; and finally they examine the schooling he received, as well as the cultural and political influences he was exposed to. An indispensible part of the work is Norman Klein’s artwork. In this first volume alone, it comprises nearly 80 original drawings and includes cartoons that enliven the narration, scenes from Mendel’s life, portraits, and plans and drawings of the cities and buildings in which he lived, studied, and worked.
