The biologist Jacques Loeb (1859-1924) helped to shape the practice
of modern biological research through his radical emphasis on
reductionist experimentation. This biography traces his career and
convincingly argues that Loeb's desire to control organisms,
manifested in studies of both reproduction and animal behavior,
contributed to a new self-image for biologists. The author places
Loeb's experiments and the controversies they generated in their
intellectual and institutional contexts, tracing his influence on
the development of behaviorism, genetics, and reproductive biology.
