Excerpt from Elements of Plant Biology
The problem, then, is to provide, under these conditions, a course of teaching which shall be as interesting as possible and shall serve to introduce the student to the fundamental facts and principles of biology, both as part of his training for life and more particularly as an introduction to the study of medicine, which, as has often been said, is really a specialised branch of applied biology.
The time is past when we could hope to give the budding medical student a thorough training in elementary botany and zoology, and with the ever increasing complexity of the medical curriculum proper there is constant pressure to shorten and simplify the preparatory parts. It seems to me that biologists should yield to this pressure to a reasonable extent, and frankly ask themselves how far the things that have been traditionally taught really serve as the best introduction to biology for medical students under existing conditions.

Excerpt from Elements of Plant Biology
This book is intended primarily for medical students and others who do not necessarily intend to continue the study of botany, but who desire or are obliged to obtain some elementary knowledge of plaints, particularly in relation to general biology. It may perhaps also be useful in the highest forms of schools where biology is taught, as well as in training colleges. But it is unsuitable for pupils under seventeen.
The book is based on the first portion, which deals mainly with plants, of the course in Elementary Biology for the Preliminary Examination in Science and the First Examination for the M.B. degree at Cambridge. This part of the course has been framed, in complete freedom as to the material chosen and its treatment, but in co-operation with the Professor of Zoology, to serve as an introduction to Biology suitable for freshmen, many of whom know nothing whatever of the subject. This first portion of the course, which is covered by the present work, occupies one term, and comprises twenty-four lectures and forty-eight hours of practical work in the laboratory. The rest of the course, which deals mainly with animals, comprises about thirty-six lectures and seventy-two hours of practical work, and includes some elementary treatment of heredity and evolution.
No claim is made to ideal pedagogic method.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an introductory-level guide to plant biology for medical students, or any reader without a prior background in botany. Beginning with an examination of the characteristics that differentiate plants from animals, the author goes on to explore some of the key chemical processes characteristic of living organisms. The complex composition of protoplasm, and the central role of sugars in the metabolism of plants and animals are also discussed, alongside the broader themes of photosynthesis and the composition of plant matter. The author presents an accessible overview of the historical development of our scientific understanding of plant life and the significance of ongoing research in this area. This text offers a comprehensive introduction to the field of plant biology, setting the stage for further study in areas such as the study of bacteria, fungi, lichens, and various plant structures including roots, leaves, flowers, and seeds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
