The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of genetics and the methods of inheritance in plants and animals. The author explains the concept of Mendelian inheritance, which is the basic principle of genetics, and describes how it applies to the study of heredity. The book also covers other methods of descent, such as the theory of pangenesis and the theory of germplasm. Cook discusses various experiments and observations that led to the development of these theories and provides examples of how they have been applied in the study of genetics. He also explores the relationship between genetics and evolution, and how the principles of genetics can be used to understand the process of natural selection. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with a basic understanding of biology. It is an important historical work in the field of genetics and provides a foundation for further research in the area. Overall, Mendelism and Other Methods of Descent is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of genetics and heredity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
