Controlling Life: Jacques Loeb and the Engineering Ideal in Biology Hardcover - 1987
by Philip J. Pauly
From the rear cover
The practice of modern biological research has been shaped, in large part, by the interests and attitudes of nineteenth and early twentieth-century scientists. This book describes the career of one such influential figure, the German-American researcher Jacques Loeb, whose novel and radical emphasis on reductionist experimentation continues to exert an impact on the field today.
