GOOD BROWSING 



Biological Beginnings 



NoRDENSKiOLD, ERIC, The History of Biology (New York, Tudor Publish- 

 ing Co., 1928). 



One of the best of the histories of Biology. 

 Darwin, charles, The Origin of Species (London, edition i, 2, 5. 1859, 

 i860, 1872). Originally published in the United States by D. Appleton and 

 Company. 



This book outlines Darwin's ideas on the method of evolution. It is quite 



difficult reading but one should read bits of it from time to time. 

 Wallace, a. r., Darivinisvi; an exposition of the theory of Natural Selec- 

 tion with some of its applications (London, Macmillan Co., 1889). 



Wallace arrived at much the same conclusions as did Darwin and at the 



same time. 

 Galen, On the Natural Faculties (Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University 

 Press, Loeb Classical Library, English translation by Arthur John Brock, 

 1928). 



Galen was one of the greatest of the early medical men and he is credited 



with bringing Greek medicine to its peak. 

 Snyder, emily eveleth. Biology ifi the Making (New York, McGraw-Hill 

 Book Co., Inc., 1940). 



This is one of the most interesting and readable accounts of biology. 

 LocY, wiLLLVM A., The Growth of Biology (New York, Henry Holt and 

 Co., 1925). 



This treats of many of the important phases of biology in an interesting 



way. The author's death prevented the publication of the second volume. 



Life and the Cell 



OsTERHouT, w. J. v., The Nature of Life (New York, Henry Holt and Co. 

 1924). 



A small but good book covering the differences between the living and 



the non-living. 

 ScHRODiNGER, ERWiN, What Is Life? (Cambridge, The University Press; 

 New York, The Macmillan Co., 1945). 



This is a new book dealing with the physical aspects of the living cell but 



life still remains a riddle. 



The Structure and Function of Higher Plants 



Ganong, WILLIAM F., The Living Plant (New York, Henry Holt and Co. 



This is an old book but few write as interestingly about difficult subjects 



as Dr. Ganong. 

 Swingle, d. b.. Plant Life (New York, D. Van Nostrand Co. Inc., 1942). 



A textbook of botany but very easily read. 

 Wilson, ernest h.. The Romance of Our Trees (New York, Doubleday, 

 Page and Co., 1920). 



The inside story of trees and man.
