The Growth of Biological Thought: Diversity, Evolution, and Inheritance, Том 10Belknap Press, 1982 - Всего страниц: 974 No one in this century can speak with greater authority on the progress of ideas in biology than Ernst Mayr.

Ten years in preparation, this is a work of epic proportions, tracing the development of the major problems of biology from the earliest attempts to find order in the diversity of life, to modern research into the mechanisms of gene transmission. |
