Synopsis
Gregor Mendel: The First Geneticist presents a lively, authoritative introduction to the man who discovered the laws of heredity and pioneered the study of genetics. Written by world-renowned Mendel scholar Vitezslav Orel, the book brilliantly traces Mendel's intellectual development, focusing in particular on his 1865 plant crossing experiments that revolutionized modern science. Throughout, Orel considers Mendel's contributions and personality in the unique social context in which he flourished. He also offers fascinating accounts of Mendel's fight for recognition, and the subsequent misuse of his theories by the Soviets and Nazis. Gregor Mendel offers the definitive systematic account of the great scientist's life and work. It will be enjoyed by interested general readers as well as students and researchers in biology and science history.

Jacket artwork by Diane Dicker. Touch of shelf wear to the top edge of the rear flap. Book and jacket are fine. Translated from the Czech by Stephen Finn. The author is the Emeritus Head of the Mendelianum in Brno. The laws of heredity are ascribed to Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) who carried out his experiments with plant crossing while an abbot at the monastery in Brno in what is now the Czech Republic. Mendel's hypothesis, which he later proved in experiments, lead to the discovery of the basic mechanisms of heredity, which now underpin much of modern genetics. This is the first systematic study of documents and publications relating to Gregor Mendel. Mendel's research, and his achievements are examined in their social and cultural context.
