内容説明・目次
内容説明
This biography examines the life and work of Wilhelm Pfeffer (1845-1920), a pioneer of modern experimental biology who anticipated much in this field that is now taken for granted. The book shows Pfeffer as a teacher and writer with wide research interests, incisive experimental skills, and a questing mind. Dr H.Wilhelm Pfeffer, grandson of Wilhelm Pfeffer, provides the translation for this English edition.
