Synopsis
On Molecular And Microscopic Science by Mary Somerville. On Molecular And Microscopic Science surveys the foundations of physical science as they relate to living matter, tracing the unity of organic and inorganic realms from the primitive sarcode of protozoa to the higher organization of vertebrates. The work examines the basic substances of life, the relation of protoplasm to cell structure, and the interdependence of digestion, respiration, and heat. It explores the nervous system, nerve-force, and the transmission of ideas through sound and motion, drawing on contemporary physiology and experiments on electricity, respiration, and muscle. Beginning with Protozoa and advancing through Rhizopoda, Foraminifera, sponges, Infusoria, and the Hydrozoa, it proceeds to the Anthozoa, Bryozoa, Tunicata, and Crustacea, detailing structure, development, reproduction, and ecological roles, including fossil forms and the life cycles of Hydra and Medusa. The volume culminates with a survey of molluscs and other marine organisms, and ends with a concise recapitulation of the triumphs of microscopic science and its implications for understanding life and matter.
