Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""On Parthenogenesis Or The Successive Production Of Procreating Individuals From A Single Ovum"" is a scientific book written by Richard Owen, a British biologist and anatomist. The book explores the phenomenon of parthenogenesis, which is the ability of certain organisms, such as some species of insects and reptiles, to reproduce without fertilization by a male. Owen delves into the scientific research and observations of parthenogenesis, including the history of its discovery and the different modes in which it occurs. He also examines the differences between parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method of reproduction. Throughout the book, Owen presents various case studies and experiments that have been conducted on parthenogenesis, including his own observations of the process in certain species of lizards. He also discusses the potential applications of parthenogenesis in agriculture and medicine. ""On Parthenogenesis Or The Successive Production Of Procreating Individuals From A Single Ovum"" is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of this fascinating biological phenomenon, providing valuable insights into the workings of nature and the potential for scientific advancement in the field of reproduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
