Synopsis
Introduction To The Study Of Biology by Henry Alleyne Nicholson. This 19th-century foundational biology text presents a concise overview of biology, dividing its subject into Zoology and Botany and outlining how life differs from dead matter. Nicholson discusses the physical basis of life in protoplasm (bioplasm), the intrinsic and extrinsic conditions for vitality, and the concept of life as a series of cyclic changes. The book surveys differences between dead and living bodies, the distinction between plants and animals, and the organization, nutrition, reproduction, and relation of organisms. It advances through chapters on morphology, physiology, and the classification of the animal and plant kingdoms, and covers elementary chemistry, cells, protoplasm, and the three primary functions of life: nutrition, reproduction, and interaction with the environment. It also addresses topics such as spontaneous generation, the origin of species, distribution in space and time, and the limitations of palaeontological records. The work remains a landmark in the development of biological science education.
