The Organism as a Whole: From a Physicochemical Viewpoint (1916), by Jacques Loeb
نویسنده
چکیده
Jacques Loeb [4] published The Organism as a Whole [3]: From a Physicochemical Viewpoint in 1916. Loeb?s goal for the book was to refute the claim that physics and chemistry were powerless to completely explain whole organisms and their seemingly goal-oriented component processes. Loeb used his new account of science and scientific explanation marshaling evidence to show that physicochemical biology completely and correctly explained whole organisms and their component processes.

متن کاملT H E EFFECTS OF THE DILUTION OF THE MEDIUM ON THE GROWTH OF THE SPLEEN.* By ALEXIS CARREL AND MONTROSE T. BURROWS
Since the appearance of the work of Jacques Loeb, it is well known that the rate of growth of certain marine organisms is markedly influenced by the physicochemical conditions of the water. In alkaline sea-water, the fertilized eggs of the sea-urchin develop more quickly than in normal sea-water. When tubularia are deposited in hypotonic sea-water, their growth is considerably increased. The ex...

Jacques Loeb [4] developed procedures to make embryos from unfertilized sea urchin [5] eggs in 1899. Loeb called the procedures ?artificial parthenogenesis," and he introduced them and his results in ?On the Nature of the Process of Fertilization and the Artificial Production of Norma Larvae (Plutei) from the Unfertilized Eggs of the Sea Urchin? in an 1899 issue of The American Journal of Physi...
