书目名称 | Human and Mammalian Cytogenetics | 副标题 | An Historical Perspe | 编辑 | T. C. Hsu | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Heidelberg Science Library | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | The history of science is mostly written retrospec tively, a generation or two after the actual events being discussed. Science historians are now analyzing and evaluating the origins of evolutionary and genetical theory in the nineteenth century and a sort of "Darwin industry" seems to have grown up. A history of mammalian cytogenetics by one of the main participants is, hence, a very welcome change, since it has a vividness, an immediacy and a personal flavor which these scholarly tomes and the official biog raphies of scientists mostly lack. The life of the author, Chinese-born, T. C. Hsu, has been a romantic and color ful one, and he is himself a unique personality, so that his book is a very unusual blend of reminiscences, history of his special field (which has transformed human genetics) and wise comments on the mistakes made along the way. The best qualities of a very fine Chinese mind have contributed to Dr. Hsu‘s career, including this book. Those qualities (which seem to me especially Chinese) include a kind of transparent honesty, a very direct em pirical approach to problems and superb technical ability. | 出版日期 | Book 1979 | 关键词 | Cytogenetics; Development; Säugetiere; Zytogenetik; phylogeny | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-6159-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-387-90364-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-6159-9Series ISSN 0073-1595 | issn_series | 0073-1595 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York Inc. 1979 |
