The Organism as a Whole, by Jacques Loeb 45962 [Subtitle: From a Physicochemical Viewpoint] [For those interested, Jacques Loeb was one of the early investigators in the biological sciences in America. He was born in Germany and received his medical and scientific education there. He came to the U.S. a decade before the turn of the 20th century. After serving on the faculty of several universities, he wound up at the Rockefeller Institute. He made numerous important contributions, most notably the demonstration of parthenogenesis (the development of an unfertilized ovum in response to chemical or physical stimuli). His publications were studied when I was in training and probably still are.] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/4/5/9/6/45962 ] [Files: 45962.txt; 45962-8.txt; 45962-h.htm; 45962-0.txt; ] [Clearance: 20061216173812loeb] E-text prepared by Charlene Taylor, Thiers Halliwell, Bryan Ness, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive/American Libraries (https://archive.org/details/americana) Thanks, Joe Loewenstein
