Collected for the first time in a single volume are essays which
examine the developments in three fundamental biological
disciplines - embryology, evolutionary biology, and genetics. These
disciplines were in conflict for much of the twentieth century and
the essays in this collection examine key methodological problems
within these disciplines and the difficulties faced in overcoming
the conflicts between them. Burian skilfully weaves together
historical appreciation of the settings within which scientists
work, substantial knowledge of the biological problems at stake and
the methodological and philosophical issues faced in integrating
biological knowledge drawn from disparate sources. The final
chapter describes what recent findings in development biology and
genetics can tell us about the history and development of animals.
Written in a clear, accessible style this collection should appeal
to students and professionals in philosophy of science, and the
philosophy and history of biology.
