Selected as one of the Best "Sci-Tech" Books of 1988 by Library Journal

The essays in this volume represent original work to celebrate the centenary of the American Society of Zoologists. They illustrate the impressive nature of historical scholarship that has subsequently focused on the development of biology in the United States.

Reviews

Modern American biology began roughly a hundred years ago. These ten scholarly papers, presented at a Friday Harbor Conference (1986), examine the nascent discipline in its early decades. Through their originality and readability, all capture the excitement of those beginning years while probing a diversity of topics: formation of societies, academic programs, institutions, and individuals. Not intended to be comprehensive, the book's organization builds a collage drawn from current research on this unique era. Highly recommended for all biology and history of science collections and good for lay readers. Michael D. Cramer, Virginia Polytechnic Inst. and State Univ. Lib., Blacksburg
