The Monk in the Garden
A study of the groundbreaking work in genetics conducted by Gregor Mendel, acclaimed as the father of modern genetics, argues that the Moravian monk was far ahead of his time.
How we Get Mendel Wrong, and Why it Matters
This book illustrates that the stereotypical representations of Gregor Mendel and his work misrepresent his findings and their historical context. The author sets the historical record straight and provides scientists with a reference guide to the respective scholarship in the early history of genetics. The overarching argument is twofold: on the one hand, that we had better avoid naïve hero-worshipping and understand each historical figure, Mendel in particular, by placing them in the actual sociocultural context in which they lived and worked; on the other hand, that we had better refrain from teaching in schools the naive Mendelian genetics that provided the presumed “scientific” bas...
Gregor Mendel - The Scientist
The major purpose of this book is to present Johann Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) in a real and interesting way based on the most recent historical research and analysis of authentic sources. The authors aim to show Mendel ́s scientific thinking and inner feelings together with his environment and to communicate his message as a multifaceted personality and modern experimentalist. The book draws from the only existing short sketch of Mendel ́s youth, his letters and the biographical ceiling paintings that were made according to his proposal. They form the basis of the self-portrait concept. The structure of the book follows thematic groups covering Mendel ́s activities from a poor village boy...
Ending the Mendel-Fisher Controversy
In 1865, Gregor Mendel presented "Experiments in Plant-Hybridization," the results of his eight-year study of the principles of inheritance through experimentation with pea plants. Overlooked in its day, Mendel's work would later become the foundation of modern genetics. Did his pioneering research follow the rigors of real scientific inquiry, or was Mendel's data too good to be true—the product of doctored statistics? In Ending the Mendel-Fisher Controversy, leading experts present their conclusions on the legendary controversy surrounding the challenge to Mendel's findings by British statistician and biologist R. A. Fisher. In his 1936 paper "Has Mendel's Work Been Rediscovered?" Fisher ...

Mendel und seine Erben
"Ins Kuhländchen, in den Nordosten der heutigen Tschechischen Republik, führt Silvia Eckert-Wagner (Jg.1955) die Erforschung ihrer Familiengeschichte. In der kleinen Ortschaft Heinzendorf wurde im Jahre 1822 ihr Vorfahre, der Vererbungsforscher Johann Gregor Mendel, geboren. Dort lebte die Familie seit Hunderten von Jahren, bis sie 1946 vertrieben wurde. Die Reise in die Vergangenheit und die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Deutschen und Tschechen werden für die Autorin zur politischen Standotbestimmung."
