Excerpt from Foundations of Biology
The present volume brings together in brief form the fundamental principles of biology for the college student and the general reader.
It is well recognized that there is no adequate substitute for detailed laboratory work on the structure and physiology of representative organisms as a means of affording a firsthand knowledge of the facts and methods of biology. However, the author has realized with increasing force that the student's correlation of the laboratory data from day to day and accordingly his appreciation of the broader aspects of the subject are greatly enhanced by a synchronous 'running account' of the underlying principles. The material in this volume has proved to be of great value for this purpose in a course on General Biology elected each year by several hundred Yale undergraduates.
The large problems of life are common to both zoology and botany, and therefore both animals and plants have been drawn upon for illustration and discussion.
