Rezensionen

"Intelligently organized and presented. . . . The essays bespeak the expansion in recent years of the study of the history of biology . . . beyond the pure history of ideas to include social, economic, and institutional context and its shaping influence on scientific research programs."--Daniel J. Kevles, Science "Fills in the gap and sets the record straight concerning the diversity, the complexity, and the general richness of biological theory and practice in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."--Bulletin of the History of Medicine "History of science at its modern best."--W. J. Bynum, Nature
