Synopsis
Excerpt from Regeneration
This volume is the outcome of a course of five lectures on Regeneration and Experimental Embryology, given in Columbia University in January, 1900. The subjects dealt with in the lectures are here more fully treated and are supplemented by the discussion of a number of related topics. During the last few years the prob lems connected with the regeneration of organisms have interested a large number of biologists, and much new work has been done in this field especially in connection with the regenerative phenomena of the egg and early embryo. The development of isolated cells or blastomeres has, for instance, aroused widespread interest. It has become clearer, as new discoveries have been made, that the latter phenomena are only special cases of the general phenomena of regeneration in organisms, so that the results have been treated from this point of view in the present volume.
If it should appear that at times I have gone out of my way to attack the hypothesis of preformed nuclear germs, and also the theory of natural selection as applied to regeneration, I trust' that the importance of the questions involved may be an excuse for the criticism.

Regeneration (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating world of regeneration, a biological process where organisms can regrow lost or damaged body parts. The author takes the reader on a journey through the history of this field, beginning with the groundbreaking work of Trembley, Bonnet, and Spallanzani, who first documented the remarkable regenerative abilities of various animals like hydra, earthworms, and salamanders. The book delves into the intricate mechanisms behind regeneration, examining both the external factors that influence this process, such as temperature and food availability, and the internal factors that play a role, including the organism's polarity, the influence of internal organs, and the role of the nucleus. The author also discusses the different modes of regeneration, highlighting the distinction between epimorphosis, where new tissue is formed before regeneration, and morphallaxis, where the existing tissue is reorganized without the addition of new material. Through a detailed analysis of experiments and observations, the book challenges prevailing theories of development and regeneration, questioning the notion of preformed nuclear germs and the applicability of natural selection to regeneration. This captivating work offers a profound look into the complex and multifaceted nature of regeneration, prompting readers to reconsider their understanding of this fundamental biological phenomenon.
