Eloge
A History of Biology
Runaway
Anthony Chaney argues that Gregory Bateson is both an outlier and a lost giant of intellectual history. Runaway is not a full biography, focusing only on the period from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, although it pays attention to Bateson's family history and early career. Bateson married the anthropologist Margaret Mead in 1936, but the couple divorced in 1950. Their studies of Balinese people led Bateson to reflect on how people learned to beh…
Joan Lisa Bromberg (1929-2015)
New Perspectives on the History of Life Sciences and Agriculture
Maintaining Continuity through a Scientific Revolution
A rereading of the American scientific literature on sex determination from 1902 to 1926 leads to a different understanding of the construction of the Mendelian-chromosome theory after 1910. There was significant intellectual continuity, which has not been properly appreciated, underlying this scientific "revolution." After reexamining the relationship between the ideas of key scientists, in particular Edmund B. Wilson and Thomas Hunt Morgan, I a…
Making Sense of Life
Evelyn Fox Keller addresses the scientific analysis of problems of growth and development using mathematical methods, metaphors, and models. She mostly sticks to developmental biology, but touches on physiology, morphology, and genetics in their relation to embryology. Instead of a continuous historical narrative, she presents case studies from the early twentieth century to the present. Most chapters focus on one or two key individuals who serve…
Good Breeding
James Moore has prepared a splendid study guide and offprint collection for this Open University course. It is highly recommended as a teaching resource for historians interested in Darwinism, the history of genetics, and the history of the eugenics movement in particular. The course is a history of eugenics seen against the background of British interest in breeding, and is therefore focused on the British context. Beginning in the 1790s, the co…
Biogenesis
This densely packed book is a survey and discussion of scientific research on the origin of life by a scientist who has been involved in this field for more than twenty years. A couple of historical chapters briefly set out the main developments of scientific thought, from the pre-Socratics to the 1950s--but in a highly schematic way, without contextual analysis. The bulk of the book is devoted to recent scientific work, although Lahav introduces…

Modeling Nature
A of population ecology which traces two generations of science and scientists from opening of 20th century through 1970. Kingsland chronicles careers of key figures and field's theoretical, empirical and institutional development, with attention paid to tensions between descriptive studies of field biologists and later mathematical models. This text debates rise of the new natural history and examines ecology's future as a large-scale scientific…
